DUMFRIES MAN CLAIMS $200,000 POWERBALL PRIZE
December 28, 2011
Imagine having a Powerball ticket in your possession for more than three months, knowing it’s worth $200,000. That what John Kaysak did. The Dumfries man matched the first five numbers in the September 17 Powerball drawing to win the game’s second prize.
“It’s a blessing,” he told Virginia Lottery officials when he redeemed the ticket at the Virginia Lottery’s Northern Virginia Customer Service Center in Woodbridge.
When asked why he waited three months to claim the prize, he said he was considering options.
Mr. Kaysak, who is retired from the U. S. Navy, bought the winning ticket at Pumps Food Mart, 17315 Jeff Davis Highway in Dumfries. He used Easy Pick and allowed the computer to randomly select the numbers on his ticket.
The winning numbers for that drawing were 6-20-22-32-43 and the Powerball was 11. Mr. Kaysak’s ticket was the only one in Virginia to match the first five numbers in that drawing, and one of just seven nationwide.
