$1 million lottery ticket sold in Annandale

The sign in front of the Annandale Giant.

The Annandale Giant, at 7137 Columbia Pike, sold a $1 million Powerball ticket, a store official confirmed.

The winner does not want to be publicly identified, at least not at the present time, but we have learned it’s a white woman in her 50s who probably lives in Annandale because she is a frequent shopper at the Annandale Giant. She not a frequent lottery ticket buyer, however.

The Powerball drawing for a $448 million jackpot took place Aug. 7. Three people had the winning numbers. Paul White, an engineer in Minnesota, collected a check for $149.4 million. The other two top winning tickets were sold in New Jersey. Those winners have not come forward yet.
