Where to Buy Your $400 Million Powerball Ticket in Burke

No one matched the winning numbers in the Saturday, Aug. 3, Powerball drawing, according to the Illinois Lottery. 

The Powerball jackpot has now climbed to $400 million. The cash payout value would be $230.3 million, according to www.powerball.com.

The next drawing is Wednesday, Aug. 7.

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. Last year, a McLean man won $107 million in the Virginia Lottery after buying a ticket in Herndon.

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

• Safeway, 5727 Burke Centre Parkway
