RICHMOND, Va. — Jennifer Ivey is Virginia's newest millionaire.

Ivey, of Loudoun County, won the $5 million top prize in lottery's 100X the Money game.

She bought the ticket at a 7-Eleven on Pleasant Valley Road in Chantilly.

"It feels amazing! It really does!" she said. "I just kind of stared at it because I couldn’t believe it!"

Ivey choose the one-time cash option which means she'll receive $3,125,000 before taxes.
