$1 Million Powerball Ticket Bought in Lorton

The winner bought it at the Food Lion at Gunston Plaza

It's a far cry from the $590.5 million Jackpot from a winning powerball ticket in Florida, but one lucky individual bought a $1 million Powerball ticket in Lorton before Saturday night's drawing. The ticket was bought at the Food Lion at 7760 Gunston Plaza.

The winning Powerball lottery numbers from Saturday were 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 and the Powerball was 11. To win $1 million, you must match the five numbers (but not the Powerball number). Other combinations may win you anywhere from $1 to $10,000—learn more about how to play Powerball here.

The chances of winning the $1 million with five white balls was one in 5,153,633, according to Powerball.

Saturday night's drawing contributed $13 million for Virginia public schools. Additionally, there were 11 winning tickets $10,000 across Virginia.

A person from Christiansburg won $1 million in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing. No one won the jackpot that night.

Virginia is no stranger to Powerball winners.  (the state got into the game three years ago), let the machine do the picking when he bought a ticket in February at the airport in Richmond on his way out of town on a business trip. The next morning, at his hotel in Denver, he checked the numbers for the $217 million jackpot.
