I think I have probably played about 2,000 scratch offs in my lifetime and the most I have won is $156.00. I think I need a new lucky penny as mine is keeping me poor.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Brenda Bailey is still on a roll. This week, the 60-year-old South Charleston woman claimed her ninth West Virginia Lottery prize, $7,000 in the Gem 7s instant game. That brings her total winnings since last September to $159,000 from five instant tickets.
Lottery officials said Friday that Bailey has claimed a total $165,800 in prizes from instant and online games since 2000.
She’s not the only lucky one in the family. Her husband Richard claimed a $6,000 instant game prize in January and a $10,000 prize last September.
