Virginia Lottery winners reel in $7.9 Million with Quads in Pick 4

In the lottery world, some weeks shine brighter than others, and for Virginia Lottery players, last week fell squarely into that category. The Pick 4 game drew the combination 4-4-4-4, sending a surge of excitement throughout the state and leading to a stunning cumulative payout of $7.9 million.

A Winning Combination

The Pick 4 lottery, one of the most popular games offered by the Virginia Lottery, is known for its easy format and frequent draws. Players pick a 4-digit number, and if it matches the combination drawn by the lottery, they win. Each play costs just $1, but the rewards can be substantial, especially when numbers are hit in exact order.

Last week's draw of 4-4-4-4 was one such occasion. The 'Quads' are among the most popular combinations that players often bet on, purely because of the substantial rewards they offer. Seeing all fours come up was nothing short of a jackpot for many, with a single $1 bet rewarding them with $5,000.

The Big Payday

The number of winners who had bet on 4-4-4-4 was staggering. A total of 1,579 tickets had bet on this combination, which equates to a total payout from the Virginia Lottery of $7.9 million. Most winners likely could not believe their luck when the fours were drawn.

The previous record for the largest Pick 4 win was in 2012 when the combination 1-1-1-1 was drawn. At that time, the Virginia Lottery had to pay out a handsome $7.8 million. This latest draw has surpassed that amount, underlining the popularity of the Pick 4 game and its potential for huge payouts.

Conclusion

Certainly, the charm of the lottery lies in its unpredictable nature. A small investment of $1 can turn into a payday one may have only dreamed about. For the 1,579 winners of the Virginia Lottery, the dream came true, courtesy of the number four!
