A Virginia couple pulled off a lottery hat trick, winning three times in one month.

Calvin and Zatera Spencer of Virginia won a $1 million drawing March 12 from a Norfolk 7-Eleven, another $50,000 with the state’s Pick 4 game with a 6-6-6-6 draw on March 26, and then $1 million by playing the Virginia Lottery Scratcher ticket $100 Million Cash Extravaganza, USA Today reported.

“Baby, we did it again!” Mr. Spencer told his wife after the third win, USA Today reported. For the $1 million Lottery Scratcher win, the family opted for a one-time cash option of $681,000 instead of the full jackpot over the course of 30 years.

“We’re not finished yet,” Mr. Spencer said, USA Today reported.
