West Virginia winner

Our report on the three-time lottery winner from Florida recently sparked a one-upmanship story from a reader, who sent us an Associated Press report about a West Virginia woman who has enjoyed less in prizes but more in wins.
Brenda Bailey (60) of South Charleston claimed her ninth West Virginia Lottery prize, last week, picking up $7 000 in the Gem 7s instant game.
The win brings her total winnings since last September to $159 000 from five instant tickets – 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.
