A Woodbridge resident had a lucky beginning to 2021.
Kenneth Thompkins won $1 million when he participated in Virginia’s New Year’s Millionaire Raffle, according to a release from the Virginia Lottery.
The ticket was purchased from 7-Eleven, 13360 Minnieville Road in Woodbridge, which received $10,000.
Thompkins used his computer to look up the numbers.
“I looked at it once. I looked at it twice. I looked at it three times,” Thompkins told the Virginia Lottery. “It’s unreal!”
Playing in the yearly raffle is a tradition for Thompkins.
“You never know what might happen!” he added.
