Virginia man wins over $4 million dollars playing online lottery game

Woodbridge, Virginia – A quiet evening at home turned into a life-changing moment for Manoj Chhetry from Woodbridge when he decided to play some Virginia Lottery games online. Feeling a bit bored, he logged into the Virginia Lottery website and tried his luck with Merry Money Mania, an online instant game. To his astonishment, he ended up winning an incredible jackpot of $4,303,499.

A Shocking Discovery

Initially unsure if what he saw was real, Chhetry recalled being in disbelief. “I didn’t know what happened!” he told Virginia Lottery officials. Concerned it might be a scam, he immediately called his wife to confirm the winning amount displayed on the screen. Once she confirmed it, the reality of the massive jackpot finally began to sink in.

Merry Money Mania is just one of the many instant online games available through the Virginia Lottery website and mobile app. The jackpot for this game continues to grow as more players participate, and the odds of winning any prize in the game stand at 1 in 3.74.

Virginia Lottery Offers More Than Just Instant Games

Aside from online instant games, Virginia Lottery players can also try their luck with popular games like Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash4Life, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, and Cash 5 with EZ Match. To participate, players must be at least 18 years old and physically located within the state of Virginia.

All proceeds from Virginia Lottery ticket sales contribute to K-12 education across the state. Chhetry resides in Prince William County, which received over $64.6 million in Lottery funding for public education last fiscal year. In total, the Virginia Lottery contributed more than $934 million to K-12 education in Fiscal Year 2024. These funds accounted for about 10 percent of the state’s total K-12 education budget.
