Kwame Cross of Dumfries, Va., said he had a lucky feeling about a set of numbers he copied down from a TV show so he bought 160 tickets bearing those digits for a single Pick 4 drawing -- and won 160 times. Photo courtesy of the Virginia Lottery
"I saw an address in a TV show, in the background, and for some reason it stayed with me," he told Lottery officials. "I just had a feeling."
Each of Cross' 160 tickets won a $5,000 top prize in the drawing, for a grand total of $800,000.
"I thought, 'This can't be real!'" he said. "I had to pull over and check like 82 times. It feels surreal!"
Cross said he hasn't yet decided what to do with his winnings.
