A Virginia man who bought 11 identical lottery tickets for the same drawing has won $1.1 million from a game with a top prize of $100,000, gaming officials say. Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty said the big winner, whose name had not yet been released, bought 11 tickets all bearing the numbers 10-13-18-23-30 for Saturday's Cash 5 drawing, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press reported Tuesday. Since each individual ticket earned the winner the maximum $100,000 prize, his final payout will be $1.1 million, officials said. He apparently likes to play those numbers because they have significance to his family's birthdays, Hagerty said.
