NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — “I never win, but let me check anyway,” Kimberly McKay thought as she sat on her couch in Newport News.
It turns out, McKay learned a hopeful lesson: Never say never.
“It still feels unreal!’” she said.
McKay won $158,270. She had bought her ticket online and used family birthdays for her numbers of choice.
The winning numbers for that drawing were 11-13-20-22-23.
According to the Virginia Lottery, the odds of winning the Cash 5 EZ Match are 1 in 749,398.
McKay, who is a bartender and is about to celebrate her 30th birthday, certainly got lucky.
