Imagine this: You are sitting at home watching football on a Sunday afternoon. During a commercial,
you check the winning numbers from the previous Friday’s Mega Millions drawing. You think to yourself,
Those numbers sound very familiar. That’s when you discover your Mega Millions ticket
matched the first five of those numbers to win $250,000.
That is exactly what happened to Ron Clark of Richmond. His ticket won the second-highest prize
in the December 14, 2007 Mega Millions drawing.
I got very excited, he told Lottery officials when he claimed his prize. I called my wife and she didn’t believe me.


The winning numbers were 4-7-12-17-30 and the Mega Ball number was 44. His ticket was the only one in Virginia to win $250,000. If the ticket hadn’t missed the Mega Ball number, Mr. Clark would have won a jackpot estimated at $137 million.
He purchased the ticket at Fas Mart, located 2650 New Market Road in Richmond, using numbers he selected at random.
