Texas woman wins lotto for fourth time
BISHOP, Texas (AP) – A US woman has continued an amazing run of luck after pocketing a fourth multimillion-dollar payout from a scratchie ticket.
Joan Ginther’s $10 million win from a $50 scratchie ticket last week was nothing out of the ordinary - it was the fourth time she has won a seven-figure sum through playing lottery. Her win has US news networks calling her the world’s luckiest ever lottery player.
ABC News said Ginther’s first win came in 1993 when she won $5.4 million. She won a further $2 million from a $30 scratchie ticket in 2006. Ginther then won another $3 million in 2008, again from a scratchie ticket. ABC news reported the 63-year-old bought three of her winning tickets from a local Texas store.
The lucky winner requested minimal publicity, according to the Texas lottery commission, and has not given any interviews.
