Woman Defies Odds with Third Six-Figure Lottery Win in a Decade
A lucky lottery player from the USA has secured her third six-figure win in just over a decade. Deborah Godsey's latest victory came from a scratch-off game, adding to her previous big prizes from Powerball and another lottery draw. Godsey first hit a major jackpot 12 years ago, winning $100,000 in a standard lottery draw. Years later, she claimed another $50,000 from a Powerball ticket. By using the Power Play option, she doubled that prize to $100,000.
Her most recent success came from Sapphire Riches, a scratch-off game. Despite spending less than $5,000 on tickets over the past ten years, she has now won three prizes of $100,000 or more. Such wins are rare but not unheard of. Across the USA, around 30,000 to 40,000 people have collected lottery prizes exceeding $100,000 in the last decade. Exact numbers vary depending on state reporting and the type of game played.
Godsey's three major wins stand out among lottery players. Her total winnings far exceed her spending on tickets. The odds remain long, but her story shows that repeated success, while unusual, is possible.
