Alexandria Resident Scores $100K In New Year’s Lottery Raffle

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Tom Roltsch told friends that 2020 is going to be his year. It didn't take long for that to come true.

The Alexandria resident claimed one of the five winning $100,000 tickets in the Virginia Lottery's New Year’s Millionaire Raffle. He bought the ticket at the Harris Teeter, 900 Army Navy Drive in Arlington.
