$325 MILLION AND STILL GROWING! MEGA MILLIONS IS THE HOTTEST TICKET IN VIRGINIA
August 26, 2009
Mega Millions is creating excitement and winners across the Commonwealth. In Tuesday’s drawing, 130,033 tickets in Virginia won prizes ranging from $2 to $250,000. Since there was no jackpot winner, the estimated jackpot for the Friday, August 28 drawing grows to $325 million.
Mega Millions players in Virginia won more than $1.1 million in Tuesday’s drawing, including two tickets that won $250,000 each. Those tickets were bought at:
* Parham Pit Stop, located at East 807 Parham Road in Richmond
* 7-Eleven, located at 3003 Columbia Pike in Arlington
Virginia Lottery officials estimate that 4.7 million tickets will be sold on Friday, the day of the drawing, in Virginia alone. In fact, during peak times, tickets are expected to sell at a rate of more than 9,500 per minute across Virginia.
If one ticket matches all six numbers to win the jackpot, that person can choose between payments of $12.5 million per year for 26 years or a lump sum cash value of approximately $204.6 million.
Mega Millions has been hot in Virginia this year. So far in 2009, two tickets in Virginia have matched all six numbers to hit the jackpot. Another 37 tickets have won $250,000 by matching the first five numbers and missing only the Mega Ball number. Those two jackpot winners were Joe Denette of Spotsylvania County, who won $75.6 million in the May 1 drawing (he selected the cash option of $47.8 million) and Joe and Sue Claffy of Rappahannock County, who won $19 million (they chose the cash option of $11.5 million) in the May 15 drawing.
