Wife's screaming wakes husband at 4 a.m. after she checks Powerball results
A man woke up in the middle of the night to his wife's yelling after she checked his Powerball ticket — and learned he had won big in Virginia. Scott Skinner narrowly missed the $84 million jackpot in the May 10 drawing, but he matched all four white balls and the red Powerball to win $100,000, the Virginia Lottery announced May 29. Skinner went to sleep without watching the drawing, but his wife decided to check the results herself, according to the Virginia Lottery. She woke him up at 4 a.m. with the good news. 'I looked at the ticket and said, 'You're right!'' he told lottery officials. When Skinner bought his ticket at a Sheetz gas station in Winchester, he paid an extra dollar for Power Play, which doubled what would have been a $50,000 win, officials said. He was one of four people in the country to win $100,000 in the drawing, Powerball results show. He told lottery officials he selected his numbers for the drawing using 'important family dates.' Winchester is in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia, about a 70-mile drive northwest from Washington, D.C. What to know about Powerball To score the jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338. Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state. Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online. Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
