Officials say that one ticket matched all six numbers in the March 4 Powerball drawing, and that little piece of paper is now worth an estimated $161 million, though no winner has come forward as of Monday, April 24 to claim the nine-figure prize.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, March 4 the drawing were 10-16-18-40-66 with a Powerball number of 16.
The winning ticket was purchased at Gill Brothers on Celburne Boulevard in Dublin.
Now the question is, who’s the lucky lotto player sitting in a new tax bracket without even realizing it?
Whoever has the golden ticket will now have 180 days to claim the prize from the March drawing date, at which point they will be given the option of taking the full jackpot in annual payments over 30 years or a lump sum of $81.9 million (before taxes).
The figure represents the fourth-largest prize ever won in a Virginia Lottery game, and is just the second time a Powerball jackpot has been won in the state.
Gill Brothers also received a $50,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Powerball drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, according to Lottery officials. The odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 25.
