VIRGINIA — Residents from across Northern Virginia found their lucky numbers thanks to the Powerball and other games from the Virginia Lottery. Players from Vienna, Leesburg, Oakton and Springfield combined to win more than $1.1 million in the last two Powerball drawings. While the jackpot-winning Powerball ticket was sold in California, many Virginia residents won prizes as well. During the 41 drawings of the jackpot run that began in June and ended with Monday night's drawing, sales of Powerball tickets in Virginia generated an estimated $17.7 million in profit. By law, all of that money goes to K-12 public education in Virginia. In Monday night's drawing alone, more than 53,000 Powerball tickets bought in Virginia won prizes. That includes one ticket that won $1 million and two tickets that each won $50,000. The $1 million winning ticket was bought online at valottery.com. The person who bought it lives in Oakton. The ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Powerball number. Here are the recent lottery winners from around Northern Virginia.
