One Prince William County man experienced a life-changing moment when he struck gold, or rather, $4.3 million, while playing a Virginia Lottery game online. What began as a quiet evening at home quickly transformed into an unforgettable event for him.
Feeling a bit bored, Manoj Chhetry decided to entertain himself by trying his luck with the Merry Money Mania game on the Virginia Lottery website.
When he was done, he found himself gazing at a staggering jackpot amounting to $4,303,499.
Christmas is truly a time for celebration and joy.
“I was completely taken aback! I had no idea what had just happened!” Chhetry exclaimed to Lottery officials, trying to put into words the overwhelming and surreal experience.
He couldn’t believe his eyes and had to call his wife over to verify what he was seeing on the screen. To his astonishment, the numbers confirmed it – he had become the latest millionaire in town.
The Virginia Lottery app and website offer a variety of online instant games, including the popular Merry Money Mania. This exciting game boasts a progressive jackpot that increases with every player who joins in the fun.
Chhetry now has the incredible opportunity to share the story of hitting the jackpot, a feat that only a few lucky individuals get to experience, as the odds of winning any prize in the game are 1 in 3.74.
Chhetry has not revealed his immediate plans for his enormous windfall, but one thing is certain: he won’t be bored for quite some time.
