Danville resident Donna Brewer got a big surprise after her late night shift earlier this week. Brewer returned home about 1:30 am when she logged on to the Virginia Lottery’s app, to see that she had won $12 in the previous evening’s Mega Millions drawing.

Instead of taking her winnings, she decided to use it to play some Virginia Lottery online games. It wasn’t long before she won $200,000 playing Shamrock Winnings.

“I said, ‘Oh no, no, no!’” she later told Lottery officials “Is this for real?”

It sure was.

Shamrock Winnings is one of dozens of online instant games available at the Virginia Lottery’s website, valottery.com. The odds of winning the top prize in Shamrock Winnings are 1 in 1,000,000. The odds per game are 1 in 3.99

Ms. Brewer said she has no immediate plans for her winnings except to pay bills.
