$3.5 MILLION IN WINNINGS UNCLAIMED

There was a single winner in Virginia's seventh weekly Lotto drawing, a lottery spokeswoman said Sunday.

The winner correctly matched six of six numbers Saturday for a jackpot of $3.5 million.

Lottery spokeswoman Paula Otto said the winner has not stepped forward. The winning ticket was bought at a Penny Pincher store in Leesburg, she said.

It was the third jackpot winner in the state's seven-week-old lottery feature. The first winner cashed in on a $7.1 million jackpot three weeks ago. The following week a Roanoke County woman won $1.7 million.

In Saturday's drawing, 120 people correctly picked five of six numbers to win $667 apiece.

The state has grossed about $15.5 million in the feature so far, Otto said. - Associated Press
