Excitement in Farmville as Food Lion Sells $95 Million Mega Million Winning Ticket

 
May18

By:  Jordan Miles  jmiles@wflo.net

There’s a lot of excitement in Farmville today as everyone’s wondering who bought the $95 million Mega Million Ticket at the Food Lion on South Main Street.

Lottery officials say the winning numbers were 11-15-35-43-49 and the Mega Ball number 41.

The Virginia Lottery’s John Hagerty says there’s no way to know who the winner is until that person walks into the doors of the Lottery Office with the winning ticket.

There were two winning tickets sold, one in Farmville and the other in New Jersey.

The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize. That person or persons will have a choice: Either take the full $95 million in 30 annual payments or a one-time cash option of approximately $70.3 million before taxes.

This is Virginia’s 8th Mega Millions jackpot win.

The jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket was bought at Food Lion, 1592 South Main Street, Farmville. The ticket is worth an estimated $95 million.

Who is Virginia’s next multi-millionaire?

While the nation’s eyes were focused on Saturday’s Powerball drawing, two tickets matched all six numbers in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing. Those tickets, which were bought in Virginia and New Jersey, will now split the estimated $190 million jackpot ($95 million each). The Virginia ticket was bought in the Farmville area.

The winning numbers were 11-15-35-43-49 and the Mega Ball number 41.

Virginia Lottery officials will announce later Saturday the store at which the winning Mega Millions ticket was purchased.

The Virginia winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize. That person or persons will have a choice: Either take the full $95 million in 26 annual payments or a one-time cash option of approximately $70.3 million before taxes.
This is Virginia’s 8th Mega Millions jackpot win. In addition, Virginia had its first Powerball jackpot win in February, when Dave and Nancy Honeywell of Fredericksburg claimed a $217 million jackpot.
