Is This The Luckiest Woman In The Quad Cities?
I usually don't even get the guaranteed prize out of the Cracker Jack box, nonetheless win $100,000.. twice!
Sounds impossible? Lucky for one Quad Citian, it's not.
The Quad City Times reports that 63-year-old Orintha Galella from Moline won $100,000 in an Iowa Lottery scratch game after her husband bought the ticket last Wednesday at Tobacco Outlet Plus in Bettendorf.
What's even more unbelievable is that this is the second time she's stumbled upon this kind of luck.
Galella also won $100,000 in 2011 when she played "$100,000 Cash Game."
According to the Times' article, the extra money could't have come at a better time.
“I didn’t think we’d hit it once, let alone twice. It feels better (this time) because we have a daughter who needs help; now we can help her," said Galella in the article.
The couple is reportedly planning on sharing the winnings with their children and will put the remainder into savings.
