Virginia Lottery player wins the largest jackpot in state history with 348 million Mega Millions prize

Richmond, Virginia – One lucky ticket in Virginia matched all six numbers in the June 27, 2025, Mega Millions drawing, claiming a jackpot estimated at $348 million—the largest prize ever won in any Virginia Lottery game.

According to officials, the winning numbers drawn were 18, 21, 29, 42, 50, with the Mega Ball number 2. While the identity of the winner remains unknown, excitement is spreading quickly across the state as players double-check their tickets in hopes of holding the golden slip.

Details Still to Come

At this time, the Virginia Lottery has not confirmed whether the ticket was bought at a store or purchased online, nor have they revealed the exact location of the sale. That information is expected to be announced later today as verification processes are completed.

The June 27 win marks the 10th time a Mega Millions jackpot has been won in Virginia since the multi-state game launched in 2002. However, none of the previous wins compare to the sheer size of this latest prize, which has already made headlines as a record-breaker in the Commonwealth.

As is standard with major lottery wins, the ticket holder can choose between receiving the full $348 million as an annuity paid over 30 years or a reduced lump sum. Either way, the winner is now set to claim a life-changing amount of money.

Officials are encouraging players to sign the back of their tickets immediately and store them in a safe place. They also remind anyone who believes they have the winning ticket to contact the Virginia Lottery directly to begin the claim process.

Until then, speculation continues to build across Virginia as residents wait to find out where the historic ticket was sold—and who just became a multimillionaire overnight.
