Orvin McLean matched the first five numbers to win the game’s second prize of $250,000.

He came within only one number of hitting the Jackpot, Mega Ball number. His ticket was one of just three nationwide to match five numbers, and the only one in Virginia.

He bought the winning ticket at Omer Art Shell, 1116 Big Bethel Road in Hampton.

The winning numbers for that drawing were 5-15-19-23-38 and the Mega Ball was 19.

He used Easy Pick and allowed the computer to randomly select the numbers on his ticket. Had he matched that final number, he would have won a jackpot estimated at $14 million.

McLean, who is in the U. S. Navy, told Virginia Lottery officials he hopes to buy a house and pay some bills with his winnings.
