Of the ten tickets they bought, only one matched all five winning numbers, missing only the Mega Ball number.
“Come on, it’s not April Fools Day! We won! Mary told Virginia lottery officials that they had won a prize.
Jesse said that ''he had to look at the ticket a couple of times to believe it.''
There were winning numbers of 9, 21, 28, 30, 52, and the Mega Ball number of 10. The Sunrise 6, located at 2120 Franklin Turnpike, sold the winning ticket.
They used the Easy Pick feature and allowed the computer to randomly select the numbers on the ticket.
Jesse said he has no immediate plans for his half of the winnings, except to give it away to his favorite charities. It’s Mary’s dream to travel.
