It was a particularly memorable birthday for Laura McDaniel.
First, her husband Travis took her out to dinner.
Then, on the way home, they bought some Virginia Lottery Scratchers.
One of those tickets ended up winning the couple $777,777.
“We’re very blessed,” Laura said, as she and her husband claimed their prize.
The Bassett couple was driving home from dinner when they stopped at Corner Market located at 12288 Martinsville Highway in Danville.
Later, when they got home, she scratched the Lucky 7s Multiplier ticket and discovered it was a top prize winner.
This is the fourth and final top prize-winning ticket in Lucky 7s Multiplier, which means the game is being closed.
Laura said they intend to stay humble and not let the money change them.
Yes it’s definitely there money , but if I hadn’t told her to get the ticket she still be broke like me , she definitely fixed it where u ask me to pick your ticket , I dont think so do it your self
People amaze, Be happy for them not Jealous, It was there money that brought the ticket not yours ..And you right God is watch you to !
I actually sold this couple the ticket she asked for one ticket and I told her to get the other one ,which was the winner ,I’m very happy for them they seem like really good people ,I get asked on a daily basis if they come back to give me a tip and I say no because they haven’t , that’s their choice , I would definitely tip somebody who sold me a ticket that’s just me, Actually the joke around here that I give away 777,777 and then went home and my car broke down, the story of my life ! So lets not be mean , Julie knows me and knows that I haven’t received any tips !!…
'Stay Humble' my foot. How about the lady that sold the ticket? She's a single mother, that has been affected by covid as well as everyone else in rural VA. -- Not so much as a tip, gift card, or a thank you. 🙄 -- God's watching.
