ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — A man was awarded $250,555 from the Virginia Lottery making him the second lottery winner this week from Roanoke.
The winner, Dwayne Saunders, bought a ticket for the Virginia Lottery’s Cash 5 with EZ Match game at the Food Lion on Wildwood Road in Salem. According to Virginia Lottery News, the winning number sequence was 4-10-17-29-30 and was a random selection from the computer.
When the June 10 drawing came along, Saunders matched all five numbers to his ticket and won the jackpot.
Saunders said the winnings will come in handy because he plans to retire within the next few years, officials say.
The Cash 5 in EZ Match game has a rolling jackpot that starts with a minimum prize of $100,000. The jackpot increases each time there is a drawing with no matching winner. The odds of matching all five numbers to win the jackpot are one in 749,398.
