Woman gets 35 lottery wins — with the same four numbers. ‘My heart started racing’
A woman in Virginia put her full faith in four numbers when she played the lottery — and it paid off.
Mandy Garcia picked the same four-number combination for all 35 lottery tickets she bought for the Pick 4 March 30 drawing, according to lottery officials.
Each ticket, which cost $1, won $5,000 — totaling a $175,000 payday, lottery officials said.
“I just couldn’t even believe it!” she told lottery officials. “My heart started racing!”
Garcia bought her lucky tickets at a Harris Teeter and Food Lion in Chesapeake, according to lottery officials. Her four-number combo was 5-2-0-1.
“I feel like certain numbers are lucky,” she told lottery officials. “I feel like it’s my best chance at winning a lot of money.”
Garcia plans to eventually buy a house and will save her winnings, she told lottery officials.
