A Virginia woman whose husband is a furloughed federal worker did not have to worry when no paycheck was forthcoming from the federal government. Winning $100,000 and a new SUV in the Virginia Lottery will ease plenty of anxieties.
"I cried. I couldn't believe it," Carrie Walls, of Ashburn, said in a lottery news release Friday.
Walls, who served 13 years in the Air Force, hit the jackpot Dec. 4 when her name was chosen from among 554,000 entries in the "Ford Expedition Plus $100K" promotion, according to the release.
