Standing out in the Virginia Lotto crowd
As you browse through the extensive roster of major winners in the Virginia Lotto, you are greeted by numerous joyful faces.
Although the face masks worn by recent winners may add a hint of mystery, their expressions of wide-eyed astonishment, ear-to-ear smiles, and evident relief from an unforeseen financial gain were all visible before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Next, let’s talk about Michael Worsham. He is the accomplished individual who has triumphed twice and just secured his second jackpot in the seven-figure range.
He certainly stands out amongst everyone else.
In both his lottery winner photos – from 2014 and the more recent 2021 edition – his smile stretches as wide as the Shenandoah Valley. Although he may have lost a bit of hair and shed some of that youthful charm over the years, he has undoubtedly acquired numerous valuable experiences and accomplishments.
Specifically? Approximately $3.5 million in prize money.
Details of Michael Worsham’s lotto wins
In December 2014, Worsham achieved his inaugural victory by winning the grand prize from the Right on the Money scratcher.
The $2.5 million jackpot was won by him after purchasing a ticket at the 7-Eleven (located at 1025A North Eden Way) in his hometown of Chesapeake.
At a different 7-Eleven located on 1488 Butts Station Road, he achieved his second victory, which was almost as remarkable. This time, he triumphed on the Extreme Millions lottery game, winning a whopping $1 million. Although the top prize for this game is set at $10 million (the highest among all Virginia Lotto scratchers), Worsham managed to secure one of the second-place prizes amounting to $1 million.
On both occasions, Worsham opted for the cash option instead of receiving payments for 25 years for the first jackpot or 30 years for the second.
The decision led to Right on the Money receiving an official payout of $1,437,500 (pre-tax) in 2014, and Extreme Millions obtaining $657,030 this month.
A reminder about Virginia Lotto odds
It might be advisable to provide a word of caution in this situation.
Winning not just one, but two jackpots worth a million dollars or more is an extraordinary feat. It is awe-inspiring, and the sheer unlikelihood of such an accomplishment is truly mind-boggling.
Approximately, there was a one-in-a-million chance that occurred, and it was succeeded by another one-in-a-million chance seven years later.
Although it may be tempting to dismiss it as mere luck for one Virginia Lotto player, the actual odds remain unknown. It is uncertain how many unsuccessful tickets the player purchased before obtaining the winning ones. While the player has accumulated $3.5 million in winnings on record, the exact amount in their bank account remains undisclosed.
Furthermore, the victor recently bagged a $1 million prize from a $30 scratch-off ticket, while their initial win was from a $20 ticket.
For the majority of lottery players, spending a significant amount of money on a scratch-off ticket, which usually only costs a dollar or two, is considered a serious expense. Although there are substantial prizes offered in these higher-priced games, it is highly likely that most players will not win anything. Considering this slim chance of winning, can you truly afford to spend an additional $20 or $30 on such a highly improbable opportunity?
To give credit to our recent winner, it is important to acknowledge that we are unaware of the exact circumstances surrounding his situation. However, we are aware that he is a small-business owner who expressed his intention to utilize his initial winnings for his children’s college education. Furthermore, lotto officials have stated that for his second win, he intends to invest the money and provide for his children’s well-being.
And behold, that is sufficient to bring a smile to a man’s face.
