$4.2 MILLION WINNERS SAY THEY'LL KEEP JOBS

A Yorktown couple on Friday claimed their half of Wednesday's $8.4 million Lotto jackpot.

Jeff and Karen Weber, who both work in the sheet-metal department of Newport News Shipbuilding, bought the winning ticket at a convenience store in Newport News.

They shared the prize with Lloyd and Irma Minter of Pittsylvania County, who claimed their half Thursday.

The Webers said they plan to continue working and will use the money for a vacation to Nashville and home renovations. They received their first payment of $142,920 after taxes and will get $143,820 after taxes annually for the next 19 years.

The winning numbers were 6-17-19-28-32-37.
