Defying all odds, a Las Vegas transplant from Bishop, Texas just won her near record forth lotto jackpot, a healthy $10 million prize. 63 year old Joan Ginther certainly has a knack for picking lucky numbers. As financial experts advise, she snared a lump sum payout, rather than take the jackpot as a series of yearly installments.
What were her other jackpots? Her first win was a $5.4 million dollar jackpot back in 1993, which she took in 20 yearly payments. She hasn’t even gotten to the end of those payments yet, and she’s already won 3 more times. In 2006 she pocketed a $2 million share of the Texas Holiday Millionaire game, then in 2008 she grabbed a $3 million winner. Her total winnings are now $20.4 million, and she may not be done yet! There is hope for everyone!
