Someone beat the odds and won the $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot, but it wasn’t bought in Virginia. However, Virginia did benefit from everyone’s excitement.
During the 29 drawings of the jackpot run that began in April and ended with Friday night’s drawing, sales of Mega Millions tickets in Virginia generated an estimated $30.2 million in profit.
All the money profited goes to the state’s public education, by law.
