Virginia couple wins lottery 3 times in 1 month

Virginia Lottery officials say Calvin and Zatera Spencer of Portsmouth won the lottery three times in two weeks, taking home more than $2 million.

The Spencers won their first $1 million in the March 12 Powerball drawing. Then, on March 26, Calvin picked up 10 Pick 4 tickets with the combination 6-6-6-6. The popular combination resulted in a $6 million payout, and with his 10 tickets, Calvin took home $50,000.

The next day, Calvin dropped his wife off at an appointment and stopped by a 7-Eleven store in Norfolk, where he bought a lottery scratcher.

“Baby, we did it again!” he told her.

The $1 million prize in $100 Million Cash Extravaganza is an annuity, which means the Spencers had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $681,000 before taxes. They chose the cash option. He bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 100 West 21st Street in Norfolk. The store received a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.

The $50,000 win came when the combination 6-6-6-6 was drawn in the March 26 Pick 4 day drawing. Since that’s a popular combination, the Virginia Lottery paid out a total of $6 million to winners for that drawing. Mr. Spencer had 10 tickets with 6-6-6-6. The top prize in Pick 4 is $5,000, which means he won a total of $50,000.

“We’re not finished yet,” he said as they claimed their latest prizes.

$100 Million Cash Extravaganza features prizes ranging from $20 up to $4 million.
The $1 million prize that the Spencers won is actually the second prize. As the name suggests, the game began with a total of $100 million in prizes available. Mr. Spencer is the first $1 million winner to claim, which means three million-dollar tickets remain unclaimed.
