WOODBRIDGE, VA – What started as a quiet evening at home for Manoj Chhetry turned into a life-changing moment when he won a $4,303,499 jackpot playing the Merry Money Mania game online through the Virginia Lottery.

Chhetry, a resident of Prince William County, decided to play some Virginia Lottery games on his device to pass the time. By the time he finished, he had secured the jackpot prize. Initially skeptical, he called his wife to confirm the win. Merry Money Mania is one of many online instant games available on the Virginia Lottery app and website, with a jackpot that grows as more players participate.

The Virginia Lottery contributes its profits to K-12 education across the state. Prince William County, where Chhetry resides, received over $64.6 million for education programs last fiscal year.
