Mechanicsville, Virginia – For Javon Robinson, a day of yardwork ended with an unexpected windfall. While taking a break, he noticed a new online game from the Virginia Lottery and decided to try his luck.

“I immediately called my wife and said, ‘Look at this!’” Robinson recalled while speaking with Virginia Lottery officials. His wife’s reaction was filled with understandable skepticism as she asked, “Is this real?” To which he confidently responded, “I think it is!”
