Two Virginia Lottery Players Win Big Prizes from Scratch-Off Games

Two Virginia winners claimed big prizes last week from scratch-off games.

One woman woman won over 750,000, while a man won $100,000. Joann Cosgrove of Roanoke won $777,777 after purchasing a Scorching Hot 7s scratch-off from Plantation Market in Roanoke.

"I had a feeling I was going to win a large amount," Cosgrove told Virginia Lottery officials.

"I was calm. I'd always thought I'd be excited, but I was calm."

The angel number 777 is associated with the self, not relationships. It encourages taking time alone to focus on oneself.

Joann Cosgrove bought and scratched a Scorching Hot 7s ticket, she won the game’s $777,777 top prize. C

osgrove claimed her prize on Nov. 29 but wasn't the only person coming into the Virginia Lottery headquarters to collect.

On Dec. 2, a New Canton man arrived to accept his reward of $100,000.

Victor Null purchased a Virginia Lottery ticket called Cash Game from a self-service terminal at Walmart in Short Pump and won $100,000 after scratching it.
