Virginia woman won $1 million in scratch-off lottery

A Virginia woman recently won the $1 million top prize on a Virginia Lottery scratch ticket while waiting for a prescription to be filled in Alexandria.

Alice Grant said she was waiting for her daughter’s prescription at the Giant Food at 3131 Duke Street when she decided to buy a Virginia Lottery “Instant Millionaire” ticket.

When the Springfield woman scratched the ticket she realized she had won the $1 million top prize.

She told lottery officials that her first reaction was disbelief.  “This can not be real!” she said.

Grant, who is retired, said she has no immediate plans for her winnings except for paying her bills.
