A WOMAN won more than $150,000 by checking a lottery app on a "regular Sunday at home."

Marlen Sandoval, from Stephens City, Virginia, won $152,608 on Virginia Lottery’s MONOPOLY Progressive Jackpots game.

After learning she'd won hundreds of thousands of dollars, the lucky winner told Lottery officials: “I still can’t believe it!”

Marlen said she played the MONOPOLY Progressive Jackpots game on the Virginia Lottery app without ever stepping foot outside of her home.

“It was just a regular Sunday at home and I decided to check the app," she explained.

As of now, Marlen has no immediate plans on how to use her winnings.

The lottery company said: “The jackpot grows as more people play.

"The odds of winning any prize in this game are 1 in 4.68.

“In addition to online instant games, players can purchase Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash4Life, Pick 3, Pick 4 and Cash 5 with EZ Match plays online.”

Meanwhile, a Nebraska man was shocked to win $1,000 in the lottery just days after claiming a $20,000 prize in the same game.

Sergey Nastin first visited their headquarters on August 19 to claim the $20,000 top prize from a $20 Mega Multiplier scratch-off ticket, the Nebraska Lottery said.

Just five days later, the lucky man was back in Lincoln City, Nebraska, to collect a $1,000 prize from the same scratch-off game.

Nebraska Lottery explained: “Sergey said he's going to use the money to pay some bills.

"But was going to keep some for something fun like a jet ski.”

And a math professor recently revealed his secret method that may increase your chances of being the only lottery winner.

Professor Steven Diaz does not play the lottery himself but shared his mathematical expertise.
