Where to Buy Your $235 Million Powerball Ticket in Burke

By Erica R. Hendry and Tyler Waldman

After a long string of drawings without a winner, the Powerball jackpot has been raised to $235 million.

The prize has a $136.5 million cash option. The next drawing will be held Wednesday.

The Virginia Lottery is one of 45 lotteries nationwide that participate in the Powerball drawing; Virginia joined the game three years ago.

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.

Virginians have been lucky with the lottery in recent months.

In February, a Fredericksburg couple claimed the second-largest Virginia Lottery Prize ever.

In May, an Alexandria Resident won a $2 Million lottery prize.

In addition, people from Falls Church, Arlington and elsewhere have won $1 million in the past year. 

And in January, a winning lottery ticket was purchased in Burke.

Powerball tickets can be purchased at any lottery vendor in Burke, including:

• Safeway, 5727 Burke Centre Parkway
• Giant, 6011 Burke Centre Parkway
• The Shell and Exxon gas stations on Burke Centre Parkway
