Soda Stop Turns Into Six-Figure Lottery Jackpot for D.C. Woman

WASHINGTON D.C. – A soda run turned into a $100,000 victory for a Washington, D.C. woman who purchased two Pick 5 lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven.

The woman, 29, walked into 7-Eleven store #11682 on 7411 Central Avenue in Capitol Heights with the intention of buying a soda.
