NO WINNER AGAIN IN LOTTO JACKPOT

No one correctly matched all six numbers in Virginia's ninth Lotto drawing, a lottery spokeswoman said Sunday.

The jackpot was worth $3.3 million when the numbers were drawn Saturday night, spokeswoman Paula Otto said. She estimated next week's jackpot at $4.5 million.

Saturday's drawing was the second week in a row without a jackpot winner.

Three jackpot winners have collected a total of more than $12 million since the game began in January. The state has sold nearly 20 million tickets.

Sixty people correctly picked five of six numbers to win $1,289 apiece Saturday, Otto said.
