First time was the charm for a Virginia woman who recently won a $50,000 lottery jackpot.
Katelynne Berland, of Yorktown, Virginia, was running errands in mid-April when she decided to buy herself a lottery ticket for the first time.
As it turned out, that was a good decision: Her ticket was a winner for the April 14th day drawing of the Pick 5 game.

Pick 5 tickets are sold for either $0.50 or $1, and players can opt to either select “any order,” “exact order,” or a combination of the two, said the Virginia Lottery’s website.
Berland’s ticket matched the numbers 2-9-4-2-3 in the exact order, meaning she won the top prize of $50,000, said the Virginia Lottery’s website.
