CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A woman in Chesapeake got a $180,000 pay out from the Virginia Lottery last month after buying six winning tickets.

Latoya Burke bought her tickets for the Pick 5 game at the Tinee Giant on Jackson Avenue, accoring to a Virginia Lottery release.

She chose the same five numbers for all of her tickets — 5-5-5-5-0 — and wagered 50/50. When her numbers matched the winning numbers in exact order, each of her six tickets were worth $30,000.

“I checked the numbers, and I was happy,” Burke told Lottery officials as she redeemed her winning tickets.

The chances of matching all five numbers in exact order for the Pick 5 game are 1 in 100,000.
