Calvin and Zatera Spencer of Portsmouth, Va. claimed their first $1 million prize on March 12 after winning a Powerball drawing. Next, Calvin’s lucky sixes resulted in a $50,000 prize from the [Virginia Pick 4 lottery](https://www.valottery.com/SearchNumbers/pick4.aspx) on March 26\. One day later, the Spencers won $1 million from a Virginia Lottery Scratcher ticket. The couple took home $681,000, before taxes, from that last win alone. “We’re not finished yet,” said the couple after redeeming their last prize, _USA Today_ [reports](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/31/lottery-virginia-couple-wins-three-times/7132659/). \[[_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/31/lottery-virginia-couple-wins-three-times/7132659/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/44577/lottery-3-times-month/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/44577/lottery-3-times-month/"},"headline":"Luckiest Couple Ever Wins Lottery 3 Times in a Month","datePublished":"2014-04-01T00:19:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:22.911Z","description":"What may just be the luckiest couple ever won the lottery three times in March— and one of their winnings was the result of the...","url":"https://time.com/44577/lottery-3-times-month/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Virginia","Lottery","Good News"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/44577/lottery-3-times-month/","name":"Luckiest Couple Ever Wins Lottery 3 Times in a Month"}}]}] ```
