Poinbank Exchange|'That's good': Virginia man's nonchalant response about winning $1,000 a week for rest of life

Two Virginia men won big prizes from the state's lottery games this month. After guessing five numbers correctly in a lotto game,Poinbank Exchange one of them was nonchalant when he found out he won $1,000 a week for the rest of his life.

Felipe Arriaza from Alexandria won $1,000 a week for life by matching the first five numbers in the Cash4Life drawing on December 4. He bought his winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on North Fairfax Drive in Arlington.

The winning numbers were 5-12-14-24-33, and the Cash Ball number was 2. Unfortunately, he missed only the Cash Ball number, which would've won him the top prize of $1,000 a day for life. Arriaza told the Virginia Lottery that he used family birthdays and ages to pick his numbers.

Arriaza recently visited the Virginia Lottery to claim his prize, and officials there describe him as low-key. When they informed him that his ticket was a big winner, he replied calmly, "That's good."

Arriaza told the Virginia Lottery officials that he plans to use his winnings to support his family. He chose a one-time cash payment of $1 million over receiving $1,000 weekly for life.

$20 and a penny

Unlike Arriaza, a Fredericksburg man didn't have to guess numbers correctly to win big. All he needed was $20 and a penny to win $500,000.

Zion Johnson won the top prize by scratching a Mega Money Multiplier scratcher from the Virginia Lottery. He bought the winning ticket from the 7-Eleven store located at 10100 Southpoint Parkway in Fredericksburg.
