He won $100,000.
“I saw the prize amount and got really nervous,” he told Virginia Lottery officials about his $100,000 Jumbo Cash game win. “I handed the ticket to my brother and asked him to check the prize for me.”

Morales said he planned to use his prize money to buy a new home.
Morales told lottery officials he purchased the winning ticket on January 29 at the Walmart on Sheila Lane in South Richmond.
