RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — As the Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $790 million, one Virginia ticket wins $1 million.
The ticket that won $1 million was bought online by a Chesapeake resident. The ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Mega Ball number.
There were also two other Virginia tickets that each on $10,000, respectively. They matched four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number and were bought at:
