Luckiest couple EVER! Husband and wife win $1 million lottery THREE times in a month (PHOTOS)
Calvin and Zatera Spencer are having an amazing month. The couple first won $1 million in the March 12 Powerball drawing. Then on March 26, Mr. Spencer won $50,000 with 10 winning tickets in the Virginia Lottery’s Pick 4 game.
But it doesn’t stop there. The next day, shortly after dropping his wife off for an appointment, Mr. Spencer bought a Virginia Lottery Scratcher ticket – the $100 million Cash Extravaganza – and won the $1 million prize.
“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.
