A Spotsylvania woman is all smiles after winning a $3 million top-prize playing a Virginia Lottery scratcher.
Lady Luck shone on local resident Dolores Miller, who is celebrating after claiming her $3 million top-prize after hitting the jackpot on a 50X the Money scratcher on a ticket sold at Walmart on Carl D. Silver Parkway in Fredericksburg.
The first person she called after realizing she was a newly minted millionaire? Her daughter.
"I did it!," she exclaimed, Lottery officials said.
Miller chose to take a one-time cash option of $1.875 million over the full $3 million, which would have been sent in annual payments for 30 years.
