A Virginia woman who stopped on her way home from work to buy some doughnuts for her kids ended up winning a $100,000 lottery prize.

Hargis bought a box of doughnuts for the children and a $10 Print ‘n Play X the Money ticket for herself.
The ticket earned Hargis a $100,000 payout.
“It feels unreal,” Hargis said. “I never in a million years thought that today I would be cashing in a winning lottery ticket!”
Hargis said her winnings will go toward buying a new car and taking care of her family.
