In the sleepy, rural town of Bishop, Texas lady luck has shone upon one rapturous resident not once, not twice, not even three times. Jammy Joan Ginther has notched up a phenomenal four lottery wins.

Ginther, known for her reclusive nature, had her first win in the form of a shared $11 million lottery draw jackpot back in 1993. She followed this up with scratch card wins to a tidy $2 million in 2006 and a thrilling $3 million just two years later.

Her latest win came from a $50 scratch card and netted her a cool $10 million. The 63 year old hails from a small community of 3,300 and is known to be a very private person.

Pilgrimage to Times Market

The mysterious millionaire bought two of her winning tickets at Times Market, a highway gas station, which, understandably, is becoming a place of pilgrimage for those chasing some lottery loot.

Sue Bae, who owns the Time Market remembers selling Ginther her winning tickets and describes her as "generous" and having "helped so many people". Bae recalls her buying a car for someone down on their luck, getting a van for the local church and donating her old home to charity.

It All Adds Up

Many gambling fans will tell you that you have to keep playing to beat the odds, something that this winner knows all about as she was formerly a college professor who taught math!

Ginther has shied publicity since her big wins but is known to have moved away from the cotton farms and somewhat run down Bishop to lively Las Vegas, where the casinos can provide plenty of opportunity for more winning streaks.
