Winning the lottery is the dream of many, as with that money they could make important changes in their lives. Buying a house, acquiring a car, financing studies or paying off debts are just some of the economic and personal improvements that can be achieved.
That’s the case of Myrna Johnson, a woman from Fredericksburg, Texas, who on July 12 became the winner of $600,000. According to what was expressed on the Virginia Lottery website, Myrna was in the comfort of her home playing Monopoly Progressive Jackpots. The woman was already a regular user of the virtual game, but up to that point she had not won anything, so taking home the jackpot left her surprised.
“At first, I couldn’t even believe it!” she told the Virginia Lottery. “I couldn’t stop screaming. My kids thought something was wrong!” she added.
Johnson told the company he has no immediate plans, but that he might buy “a nice vehicle.” The company’s website says Monopoly Progressive Jackpots is one of several online instant games available on the Virginia Lottery app and at valottery.com.
The theme is that the jackpot increases as more people play. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 4.68. Players must be 18 years or older and physically located in Virginia.
Winning such a significant prize not only provides financial relief, but also opens up a world of possibilities. For Myrna, this money represents an opportunity to improve her quality of life and secure a more stable future for her family.
The Virginia Lottery offers a wide variety of games, both online and in physical format. Its popularity has grown thanks to the exciting possibilities of winning and the transparency in the communication of results. The company assures that all its games are regulated and supervised to guarantee the fairness and security of the participants.
