The Local Pick:
Local woman wins $1 million in Second-Chance Promotion Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

ICHMOND -- When Andrea Stoneburner scratched her Extreme Millions ticket from the Virginia Lottery, she could see that it was not a winning ticket. However, instead of throwing the ticket away, the Mechanicsville woman entered it in the Virginia Lottery’s Extreme Millions Second-Chance Promotion. That ended up being a million-dollar decision. When the drawing was held on July 3, her ticket was drawn out of more than 272,000 entries to win the million-dollar top prize. When she was informed of her of win, she said she thought it was a scam. In fact, when she told her mother about it, her mother sent her information about scams and fraud. Stoneburner, a labor and delivery registered nurse working toward her midwife certification, had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a onetime cash option of $657,030

before taxes. She chose the cash option. There will be two more million-dollar prizes drawn in the Extreme Millions Second-Chance Promotion. Those drawings will be held on Nov. 6, 2018, and April 2, 2019. Players can enter their non-winning Extreme Millions ticket in order to be eligible for a chance to win. When it comes to education, the Virginia Lottery is game.
Stoneburner lives in Hanover County, which received more than $2.8 million in lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year. The Lottery generates more than $1.6 million per day for Virginia’s K-12 public schools. Operating entirely on revenue from the sale of Lottery products, the Lottery generated more than $600 million for Virginia’s public schools in Fiscal Year 2018.
