Woman Wins $200,000 Lottery Prize After Cashing In on Another Winning Ticket

It was a day of double the luck for a Virginia woman who won the lottery twice in one day. 

Brenda Preston won $200,000 on a Jewels 7s after she bought the ticket with the money show won from another ticket. 

“I was in disbelief,” Preston told Virginia Lottery officials. “I immediately called my daughter.”

Preston won the top prize for that scratch-off, which ranges from $5 to $200,000. 

She was reportedly the third person to claim a top prize with the ticket.
