Mary Elliot panicked after learning she matched all five numbers in the CASH 5 with EZ Match game but had thrown out her winning ticket, the Virginia Lottery said in a press release last week. Thankfully, after digging through the garbage, she found it.

When she took the ticket to claim her prize, she ran into another problem: The barcode wouldn't scan because of coffee stains.

Luckily for Elliott, lottery officials were able to confirm her prize, and she walked away $110,000 richer.

When I saw I d won, I couldn t stop shaking to save my life! she said, according to the release.

She bought the ticket in February at a Food Lion grocery story in Dillwyn, using numbers that were important birthdays.

The chances of matching all five numbers to win the $100,000 jackpot are 1 in 749,398, according to the release.
