Wow Congrats!

I went to https://www.valottery.com/ and checked out the game and the current jackpot is about $755k

Those games look better than the online games here. Michigan awarded 1 $1,000,000 prize for the games here when they first started and since then they have not payed out more than $250k with the top prize on some of the games now being $500k and there is one prize higher but nobody is ever going to win that if you check out the odds for that.

Regulations probably changed since I retired from the Army in '97. It was that if you hit it big in the lottery you could easily ETS (End Term of Service). Was stationed right behind the Pentagon, Ft Myer, VA 80-82. An Army Soldier in the Pentagon won $5 million and there was big hoopla because the military didn't want to release him. Sadly don't know the outcome of his predicament!

That's water under the bridge and so glad this US Sailor won a huge payday in his car

Every now and then the Virginia lottery gives you 10 free games of one of the various slot machine type games if you make a deposit to your account. I usually win at least a couple of dollars and one time won $40. I quit after the free games end.

My understanding (limited)is that you have to bet the maximum $50 to win the jp and some of these games have 3 levels of prizes based on the bet.

Earlier this month, the Virginia Beach native had just returned from participating in a volunteer event when he arrived ho... [ More ]
