CHARLESTON, W.Va.—Brenda Bailey is still on a roll.
This week, the 60-year-old South Charleston woman claimed her ninth West Virginia Lottery prize, $7,000 in the Gem 7s instant game. That brings her total winnings since last September to $159,000 from five instant tickets.
Lottery officials say Bailey has claimed a total $165,800 in prizes from instant and online games since 2000.
She’s not the only lucky one in the family. Her husband Richard claimed a $6,000 instant game prize in January and a $10,000 prize last September.
There are two scenarios that could cause this to happen. The first would be that Bailey spent $523,043 to “win” that $165,800 in lottery money. Or she’s cashing other people’s winning tickets so they don’t have to pay taxes on them.
Which do you think it is? It almost reminds me of that scene in Casino when Deniro bitches out the slots manager because everyone keeps hitting jackpots. Only replace the slots manager with the entire main stream media and the West Virginia lottery commission.
