Special Delivery: Virginia Postman Wins $150,000
Joseph Bailey of Alexandria was watching television with his wife when he decided to check the winning numbers in that evening’s Virginia Lottery Cash 5 drawing.
His wife read the numbers to him and they sounded VERY familiar.
“Say that again!” he said. So she read the numbers a second time.
“They’re mine, baby! They’re mine!” he exclaimed.
Bailey matched all five numbers with two tickets in the April 21 Cash 5 night drawing. Both tickets had identical numbers.
On one ticket, he wagered $1.00 to win $100,000; on the other, he wagered 50 cents to win $50,000. His total winnings came to $150,000.
He bought both winning tickets in Alexandria, Virginia.
GAMES WE PLAY:
There was no Powerball jackpot winner on May 20, so the May 23 jackpot is now $192 million, far and away the biggest jackpot currently in the world.
The winning numbers for the May 20 game are 20,30,31,35,42 and the Power ball is 6. [At least I picked that one.]
The Power Play multiplier is 2.
5 tickets matched the first five numbers but missed the Power ball.
Those tickets were bought in Connecticut ($200,000), Idaho (2 tickets, each worth $200,000), Minnesota ($200,000), Missouri ($200,000) and North Carolina ($1 million, because the ticket was Power Played).
Congratulations, winners.
The May 22 Mega Millions game offers up a $16 million jackpot.
The May 22 Euro Millions lottery game has a 15 million euro jackpot in play.
Good luck players, wherever you are in the world.
