Winchester,Virginia: Man Claims Top Prize In Win For Life
The Virginia Lottery mystery has been solved. The question Where is that winning ticket? has finally been answered.
For four months, Sushil Thapa of Winchester was in possession of a top-prize ticket in the Virginia Lottery’s Win For Life game and he didn’t know it!
We knew that someone in Winchester had hit, he told Virginia Lottery officials. We searched frantically,
but didn’t find it, so we gave up. All the time, the winning ticket was tucked
in a book belonging to his wife. The lotto ticket matched the first six
numbers in the November 24, 2007, lottery drawing. Those winning numbers were
4-10-11-13-31-41. He will receive $1,000 per week for the rest of his life.
When I found the VA lotto ticket, I was speechless, he said. I jumped in the air. I have no words to describe my excitement.
He bought that winning lotto ticket at Gas Mart, located at 2118 North Frederick Pike in Winchester. The store received a $10,000 bonus
for selling a top-prize Win For Life ticket.
On March 28, he received the first of a lifetime of checks from
Virginia Lottery Deputy Executive Director Richard Williams. The presentation took place at the Virginia Lottery’s Shenandoah Valley Customer Service Center in Harrisonburg. Mr. Thapa becomes the 19th Virginia Lottery player to win the top prize in Win For Life since the game began in February, 2006.
