Although the top prize was not won in Virginia for the October 11 Powerball drawing, in Wednesday’s drawing alone, more than 145,000 Virginia Powerball tickets won prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million. The $1 million ticket was bought online by a player in Alexandria.
The five $50,000 winning tickets were bought at:

According to the Virginia Lottery, during the 36 drawings of the Powerball jackpot run that began in July and ended with the $1.725 billion drawing Wednesday, sales of Powerball tickets in Virginia generated $30 million in profit. By law, all of that profit goes to K-12 public education in Virginia.
The jackpot is now $20 million for Saturday’s drawing.
