VA. LOTTERY ROLLS OVER TO $3 MILLION

Otto said 2,000,485 tickets were sold last week. She estimated the next jackpot at about $3 million.

Otto said 68 people correctly picked five of the six winning numbers - 10, 15, 43, 31, 17, and 5 - and won $1,024 each. She said 3,343 people won $44 dollars after matching four of six numbers and 54,794 people picked three of six numbers to win a free ticket.

She said people who have consistently played the numbers 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 were among the winners of a free ticket since three of those numbers were winners this week. She said the combination is always one of the top combinations and was the second-most frequently played last week.

The state has had three jackpot winners.
