Calvin and Zatera Spencer are having an
amazing month. The couple first won $1
million in the March 12 Powerball
drawing. Then on March 26, Mr. Spencer
won $50,000 with 10 winning tickets in
the Virginia Lottery’s Pick 4 game.
But it doesn’t stop there. The next day,
shortly after dropping his wife off for an
appointment, Mr. Spencer bought a
Virginia Lottery Scratcher ticket – the
$100 million Cash Extravaganza – and
won the $1 million prize.
“Baby, we did it again!” he told her.
The $1 million prize in $100 million Cash
Extravaganza is an annuity, which means
the Spencers had the choice of taking the
full $1 million prize over 30 years or a
one-time cash option of $681,000 before
taxes.
They chose the cash option. He bought
the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 100
West 21st Street in Norfolk. The store
received a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery
for selling the winning ticket.
The $50,000 win came when the
combination 6-6-6-6 was drawn in the
March 26 Pick 4 day drawing. Since that’s
a popular combination, the Virginia Lottery
paid out a total of $6 million to winners for
that drawing.
Mr. Spencer had 10 tickets with 6-6-6-6.
The top prize in Pick 4 is $5,000, which
means he won a total of $50,000.
“We’re not finished yet,” he said as they
claimed their latest prizes. $100 million
Cash Extravaganza features prizes
ranging from $20 up to $4 million.
The $1 million prize that the Spencers won
is actually the second prize. As the name
suggests, the game began with a total of
$100 million in prizes available.
Mr. Spencer is the first $1 million winner
to claim, which means three million-dollar
tickets remain unclaimed.
