SOMEONE HOLDING WINNING TICKET WORTH $5.7 MILLION

One lotto ticket worth an estimated $5.7 million was sold at a convenience store in Chesapeake, lottery spokeswoman Paula Otto said Sunday.

The winner who correctly matched all six numbers will receive about $216,000 after taxes each year for 20 years, Otto said.

The winning numbers drawn Saturday night were 10, 19, 21, 28, 34, and 39.

The 106 ticket holders who matched five of six numbers each won $942, Otto said. She said 4,007 people chose four correct numbers to win $53, and 65,273 players matched three numbers to win a free play.

The state's lotto game has had five grand prize winners in 13 drawings. Saturday's jackpot had been building for three weeks.

Otto said the estimated prize in next week's drawing will be $1.5 million.
