WARRENTON, VA – Lamar Howard, an Orlando-based truck driver, recently won $700 in the Virginia Lottery’s Pick 3 game during a stop at Love’s Travel Stop on 5021 Lee Highway, just outside Warrenton. The win came on the night of April 29, where the winning numbers were 8-4-5.

Howard, known for his generous spirit, was helping another trucker at the time of his ticket purchase, an act of kindness he says is typical for him. His good deed was seemingly repaid when he matched the winning combination in that evening’s draw.
