During the 29 drawings of the jackpot run that began in April and ended with Friday night’s $1 billion drawing, sales of Mega Millions tickets in Virginia generated an estimated $30.2 million in profit. By law, all of that profit goes to K-12 public education in the Commonwealth.

While the overall winning ticket was not sold in Virginia, in Friday night’s drawing alone, more than 405,000 Mega Millions tickets bought in Virginia won prizes. That includes four tickets that matched four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number. Normally that wins $10,000, however, one of those players spent an extra dollar for the Megaplier when they bought the ticket. The Megaplier doubled that prize to $20,000.

Virginia is home to two history-making leaders who are not waiting for change; they are driving it. US Representative Jennifer McClellan, the first Black woman to represent Virginia in Congress, brings nearly two decades of results to the table: more than 370 pieces of legislation passed, voting rights expanded, reproductive healthcare protected, and clean energy advanced. She does not govern on noise. She governs on outcomes!

Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi, the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the United States, built her leadership in Virginia’s classrooms before taking it to the statehouse. Steady, focused, and purpose-driven, she does not just represent change; she expands what leadership looks like.
