Hampton Woman Hits $1M Lottery Jackpot at Wawa
She had a feeling she’d win the lottery someday… and this time, she was right.
A Hampton, Virginia woman is celebrating a life-changing $1 million win after grabbing a Winners Club scratcher at a Wawa on East Mercury Boulevard. One ticket was all it took to hit the game’s top prize.
Inside the store at 301 E. Mercury Blvd., she scratched the ticket—and everything changed in seconds.
“As soon as I saw it, I just freaked out! I always thought I was going to hit the Lottery,” she told officials.
Big win details
- ? Prize: $1 million top scratcher award
- ? Purchased at Wawa in Hampton

Because Virginia law allows it, her identity remains private for wins of $1 million or more.
Cash or payments? She chose cash.
Winners had two options:
- Spread payments over 30 years for the full $1 million
- Or take a lump sum of about $476,000 before taxes
She went with the one-time payout.

The winner says her focus is simple—taking care of her family with the money.
And there’s another twist: this ticket didn’t just change her life—it also closed the chapter on the game. Lottery officials confirmed this was the third and final top prize claimed, officially ending the Winners Club scratcher run.
