Anonymous Chesapeake Resident Claims $2 Million Mega Millions Prize With Megaplier

State law shields the winner’s identity for prizes of $1 million or more.

Overview

  • The Virginia Lottery confirmed a Chesapeake player won $2 million from the September 26 Mega Millions drawing.
  • The ticket matched all five white balls but not the Mega Ball, qualifying for the second-tier prize.
  • Because the ticket included the Megaplier, the usual $1 million payout was doubled to $2 million.
  • The quick-pick ticket was purchased at a Wawa at 471 Kempsville Road in Chesapeake, according to reports.
  • The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday, November 7, with an estimated $843 million jackpot and a $391.7 million cash option as reported.
