Latoya Burke of Chesapeake told Virginia Lottery officials she visited the Tinee Giant on Jackson Avenue in Chesapeake and decided to try her luck with six identical tickets for the June 5 Pick 5 drawing.

Burke's tickets matched all five winning numbers, 5-5-5-5-0, and each scored her a $30,000 prize -- a grand total of $180,000.

"I checked the numbers, and I was happy," Burke said of discovering her good fortune.

The winner did not reveal whether she has any immediate plans for her winnings.
