A WOMAN in Virginia, the U.S., whose federal employee husband is currently furloughed can breathe a little easier after claiming a US$100,000 lottery jackpot. Ashburn resident Carrie Walls, whose husband is not currently being paid due to the government shutdown, won US$100,000 plus a new SUV in the Virginia Lottery’s Ford Expedition Plus US$100K Promotion. Walls’ ticket was drawn out of more than 554,000 entries in the drawing. “I cried. I couldn’t believe it,” Walls said. She said the new money and vehicle will allow her family to take a trip to Walt Disney World. (SD-Agencies) |
