Retiree Wins $1M Powerball Prize From Ticket Bought In Kingstowne

KINGSTONE, VA — A Fairfax County man claimed the $1 million Powerball prize he won after purchasing the winning ticket in Kingstowne, according to the Virginia Lottery.

Dennis Mastie matched five of the six winning numbers to win $1 million for the Jan. 23 Powerball drawing. He bought the ticket at the Giant Food at 5870 Kingstowne Boulevard.

The winning numbers ended up being 12-31-47-58-60, and the Powerball number was 23. The only number he did not match was the Powerball number.

“I’m in shock,” Mastie told Virginia Lottery officials as he claimed his prize. “I had no idea.”

Mastie, who is retired, said he has no immediate plans for his winnings.

The Giant Food store, where the winning ticket was bought, will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery.

Powerball drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 25.

All Virginia Lottery profits go to K-12 education in Virginia. Mastie lives in Fairfax County, which received nearly $48.7 million in Lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year.
