Hampton lottery ticket hits $1,000-a-day-for-life Cash4Life jackpot

Hampton, VA – Someone who stopped at a local convenience store in Hampton is now holding a ticket worth a staggering decision: take $1,000 a day for the rest of their life—or walk away with a one-time $7 million cash prize.

The life-changing ticket was purchased at Aberdeen Food Mart, located at 933 Aberdeen Road, and matched all six numbers in the November 9 Cash4Life® drawing. The winning numbers drawn were 3, 8, 18, 20, 22, and the Cash Ball number 4.

So far, the winner has not come forward to claim the prize. Whoever has the winning ticket has 180 days from the drawing date to step forward. The Virginia Lottery urges the lucky ticket holder to sign the back of the ticket immediately to establish ownership.

When ready, the winner can contact the Lottery to begin the claims process—and make the pivotal decision between daily lifetime payments or the multimillion-dollar lump sum.

Cash4Life is played in ten states and offers two lifelong prize tiers: $1,000 per day for life as the top prize, and $1,000 per week for life as the second-tier prize. Each play costs $2, and the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 21.8 million.

Hampton, the location of the winning sale, received over $24.7 million in Virginia Lottery K-12 education funds last year. Statewide, the Lottery generated more than $901 million in support of public schools in Fiscal Year 2025.
