Appomattox woman wins lottery because store was out of bananas

When Nancy Webb went shopping on a Saturday, she wanted to pick up some bananas with the rest of her groceries, but the store was out. So, the Appomattox woman went back the next day when they were in stock. This time, while she was there, she also bought a 100X the Money ticket from the Virginia Lottery.

That ticket ended up winning $300,000.

Ms. Webb, who says she doesn’t play the Lottery very often, scratched her winning ticket in the store’s parking lot. She bought it at the Kroger at 7789 Richmond Highway in Appomattox.
