Giving Springfield Resident Gets Reward With Lottery Win

Victor Soriano typically enjoys spending his money on buying food for others, even strangers. "And then if I have money left over I play the lottery," he said.

That paid off for him.

The Springfield resident scored the top prize of $100,000 in the Virginia Lottery's Cash 5 game on July 17. He matched all five of the winning numbers, which were 5-11-15-21-27. Soriano told lottery officials he selected a group of numbers that he’s played in the past.

He plans to use the money to pay bills and give the rest to his wife.

Cash 5 drawings are held twice a day. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.
