 Sun Ja Kim of Springfield is a very lucky person. She matched all five numbers in the July 8 Cash 5 drawing to win the top prize of $100,000.
“I was so happy. I was clapping and hugging my husband,” she told Lottery officials.
She bought the winning ticket at Express II Food Mart, located at 6965 Hechinger Drive in Springfield. The winning numbers for that drawing were 1-13-14-16-32. She used the Easy Pick function and allowed the computer to randomly select her numbers.
She told Lottery officials that she has no immediate plans for her winnings.
Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.
Nearly 95 cents of each dollar spent on the Virginia Lottery by players goes back to the Commonwealth in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retailer commissions. Since 1999, all Virginia Lottery profits have been designated solely to K-12 public school education in the Commonwealth. In that time, the Lottery has turned over more than $4 billion for Virginia’s public schools. The latest annual profits of $455 million currently represent about 6 percent of state funding for public education in Virginia. In 20 years, the Lottery has sold more than $20 billion in tickets, awarded more than $1 billion in retailer commissions and paid more than $10.9 billion in prizes to players.
Please play responsibly.
