Woman Buys $500K Lottery Ticket In Alexandria
It was a lucky day for the Alexandria woman when she won $25, then $500,000 from two lottery tickets.
ALEXANDRIA, VA—Winning $25 is a decent result of buying a lottery ticket. But when Karen Davis-Cromer of Alexandria won $500,000 from the second ticket, it became a whole different ball game.
Her immediate reaction was to call her daughter and her sister with the good news. She plans to save her winnings and pay bills. Not a bad start to the holiday season.
The Alexandria woman bought the two tickets from 7-Eleven at 5725 Edsall Road.
