BISHOP, Texas (AP) -- A former college professor has hit a fourth Texas Lottery jackpot in the face of astronomical odds.
Joan Ginther won $10 million on scratch-off ticket bought in the rural town of Bishop last month. That brings her lifetime Texas lottery winnings to nearly $21 million since 1993.
The 63-year-old Ginther has won at least $2 million on each of her winning tickets. Texas Lottery Commission spokesman Bobby Heith says the agency hasn't seen a repeat winner on this scale.
Not that Ginther didn't know the long odds stacked against her. Before becoming a multimillionaire, Ginther worked in California as a professor -- teaching math.
