Powerball Winner: Millionaire Mystery in Fairfax County
Someone won big in Wednesday's drawing, but the prize hasn't been claimed.
Virginia Lottery officials are waiting on the owner of a $1 million Powerball lottery ticket to come forward. They know it was purchased at a Springfield 7-Eleven.
The winning numbers Wednesday were 3-7-9-26-54, with the Powerball number 19. The ticket purchased at the store at 6221 Rolling Road matched the first five numbers, but missed the Powerball. That makes the ticket worth $1 million.
