Lady Luck: W.Va. woman wins 5 lottery cash prizes

[May 06, 2009]  CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Brenda Bailey is on a roll. Since September, the 59-year-old South Charleston woman has won five West Virginia Lottery cash prizes, totaling $167,600.

All of Bailey's winnings came from the Lottery's instant games. Her latest win is her biggest -- the $100,000 top prize in the Price is Right game.

Bailey claimed that prize Tuesday. Her other winnings from various instant games include $50,000 in April, $1,000 in March, $6,000 in January and $10,000 in September.

Lottery Director John Musgrave said none of his staff can recall a similar streak of luck.
