DUFFIELD, VA — Emily Parker, a nurse from Duffield, was astounded to win a jackpot of $903,298 while playing the Virginia Lottery’s MONOPOLY Progressive Jackpots game from the comfort of her home. The win, which occurred on a Friday evening, seemed almost too good to be true to Parker.
“The moment felt unreal,” Parker shared, recounting how she immediately informed her father of her fortune by calling him and sending a screenshot of the winning screen. MONOPOLY Progressive Jackpots is among the various online instant games offered through the Virginia Lottery app and its website, designed to grow the jackpot as more players participate. The game boasts a win probability of 1 in 4.68 for any prize.
The Virginia Lottery also allows players to engage in other games like Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash4Life, and several others online, provided they are at least 18 years old and located within the state.
Despite her significant win, Parker has yet to decide on plans for her newfound wealth.
