After winning $50,000 in mid-October, Jennifer Minton won a jackpot of $912,936, according to lottery officials in the American state south of the federal capital.
Both amounts were won on an online gambling application, the Virginia Lottery’s online Safari Quest.
“I’m in shock! I couldn’t believe my eyes!” she revealed to lottery officials after winning a second sum.
Participation in the game, available through the online gaming application, costs between 20 cents and 50 dollars.
A portion of the accumulated funds goes back into the state’s public education system.
