3Woodbridge man wins $1 million Powerball prize with ticket bought in Manassas
Manassas, VA – A Powerball player from Woodbridge is now a millionaire after his ticket matched five numbers in the September 1 drawing, earning him a $1 million prize from the Virginia Lottery.
The lucky winner, who chose to remain anonymous—as allowed under Virginia law for prizes of $1 million or more—purchased the ticket at the Wawa located at 8704 Sudley Road in Manassas. The ticket matched the first five numbers drawn: 8, 23, 25, 40, and 53, missing only the Powerball number, which was 5.
According to lottery officials, the winner said he only plays when jackpots soar. Despite missing the jackpot, the matching five numbers without the Powerball still landed him one of the top second-tier prizes.
