CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Virginians who bought money-making tickets for Saturday’s Powerball drawing didn’t hit the big prize, but there were ten players who won more than small change.

Tickets worth $50,000 were purchased in Fairfax, Henrico, Manassas and online.
In Saturday’s drawing alone, more than 266,000 Virginia Powerball tickets won prizes, including five tickets that each won $100,000 and four tickets that each won $50,000.
