**BREAKING: VIRGINIA WOMAN STRIKES GOLD… LITERALLY!**
In a shocking turn of events, a Virginia woman has won a whopping $1 MILLION DOLLARS in the lottery, and the ticket was hiding in the most unlikely of places: her grandmother’s old Bible!
According to sources, 32-year-old Sarah Johnson was rummaging through her grandmother’s attic, searching for a vintage prom dress to wear to a friend’s wedding, when she stumbled upon an old, dusty Bible. As she flipped through its yellowed pages, she noticed a peculiar piece of paper stuck between two chapters. To her surprise, it was a winning lottery ticket!
“I was like, ‘Grandma, why did you hide a million bucks in the Bible?'” Sarah exclaimed in an interview. “I mean, I knew she was a little quirky, but I didn’t know she was a lottery genius!”
The ticket, which was purchased at a local convenience store in 2018, was for the Virginia Lottery’s “Mega Millions” game. Sarah claimed she had no idea her grandmother had bought the ticket, let alone hidden it in the Bible.
“I guess Grandma wanted to make sure I had a little something to remember her by,” Sarah said, chuckling. “I mean, who needs a will when you’ve got a Bible with a million-dollar secret?”
Sarah plans to use the winnings to pay off her student loans, buy a new car, and invest in a “prom dress-of-the-month” subscription.
The Virginia Lottery Commission has confirmed the win and is urging people to check their old Bibles, just in case.
“We’re thrilled for Sarah and her family,” said a lottery spokesperson. “And to all our players out there, remember: you never know where your winning ticket might be hiding… or who might be hiding it from you!”
**UPDATE:** The Virginia Lottery Commission has announced that they will be launching a new marketing campaign, featuring the slogan: “Find your fortune in the most unlikely of places… like Grandma’s Bible!”
