WHILE WATCHING THE OLYMPICS, HE DISCOVERS HE WON $100,000
August 25, 2008
Joseph Burns of Yorktown may not be an athlete, but he won a big prize during the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was sitting at home watching the games on television, when the winning numbers for the Virginia Lottery’s Cash 5 drawing appeared at the bottom of the screen. They matched the numbers on his ticket. He won the top prize of $100,000.
“I was beside myself!” he later told Virginia Lottery officials.
He purchased the ticket at Tabb Shell, located at 600 Hampton Highway in Yorktown using numbers he selected at random. The ticket was for the August 18 Cash 5 night drawing, in which the winning numbers were 3-7-16-20-29.
Mr. Burns, who works as a crane operator, said he had no immediate plans for his winnings.
Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.
