Virginia woman wins lottery 30 times in one day

Talk about hitting the jackpot!

Richmond resident Deborah Brown won the Virginia lottery 30 times in one day in February after buying 30 tickets with the combination of 1-0-3-1.

For her $30 investment, Brown snagged $150,000.

"I nearly had a heart attack," Brown said to Virginia Lottery.

The Virginia lottery organizers said the odds of Brown winning were 1 in 10,000.

Brown said she might renovate her home but doesn’t have any set plans on what she’ll do with her winnings.

Last week, a recently divorced New Jersey man won a $273 million Mega Millions jackpot after forgetting his winning ticket on a store counter.

“I was paying more attention to my cellphone,” he said at a news conference. “I put the tickets down to put my money away, then I did something with my phone and just walked away.”
