A LUCKY SOMEONE IS $1 MILLION RICHER

One player matched all six winning numbers to win a $1 million Lotto jackpot, a Virginia Lottery spokeswoman said Sunday.

The numbers drawn Saturday night were 2, 4, 6, 8, 14 and 20.

The winning ticket was sold in the Richmond area, said Cherie Phaup, the lottery spokeswoman.

The estimated jackpot for Wednesday's Lotto drawing is $1 million, Phaup said.

For matching five of Saturday's six numbers, 159 people won $359 each, Phaup said. Prizes of $24 went to 4,959 players who picked four winning numbers, while 54,989 people won a free play for choosing three of the six numbers. - Associated Press
