mega millionsA $2 million winning ticket in last night’s Mega Millions drawing was purchased at a Gate City market.

That winning ticket was among more than 214,000 Mega Millions tickets bought in Virginia that won prizes. That includes a ticket that won $20,000, and six tickets that each won $10,000.

Also winning big: Virginia K-12 public education.

During the 37 drawings of the jackpot run that began in September and ended with Friday night’s drawing, sales of Mega Millions tickets in Virginia generated an estimated $29.1 million in profit.

By law, all of that profit goes to K-12 public education in the Commonwealth.
