$200K Virginia Lottery Ticket Claimed By Chantilly Man
A Chantilly man won $200,000 in a Virginia Lottery scratch-off game. He said it was a "spur of the moment" thing.
CHANTILLY, VA—Buying a Virginia Lottery ticket wasn't on William Sullivan's to-do list when he recently went out to run errands, but the Chantilly man bought one anyway at "the spur of the moment." Good thing for him that he did. Turns out his "50X the Money" ticket was worth $200,000.
Sullivan's impromptu decision was made in the Harris Teeter at 25401 Eastern Marketplace Plaza. His winning ticket represented the game's second prize. The top prize is $5 million, and the odds of winning that one are 1 in 876,800.
