DATELINE: LOCUST GROVE LENGTH: Short
Evelyn Kemeys, 39, and her husband, Sherwood, 40, live with their three children in a battered trailer. She works seven nights a week as a nurse's aide. He is unemployed.
On Monday, she stopped by a convenience store on her way to work to play the Virginia Lottery's $100,000 Cash 5 game. And won.
After taxes, she picked up a tidy $67,818.69. But her family's making sure the money doesn't go to her head.
``We're going to take it slow and easy and try to get what she needs before we do anything foolish,'' said her mother, Joanne Winn, 59.
Not to worry. The Kemeys' first planned purchase: a larger, $5,000 used trailer.
