SALEM, Va. – A Salem resident took home quite the prize from the Virginia Lottery Wednesday.

Ronald Jackson won the top prize in the Virginia Lottery's Summer Corvette Giveaway Promotion. On Wednesday, he received the keys to his new ride at Pinkerton Chevrolet.

Jackson said he plays the lottery a couple times a week, but never imagined he would win a 2018 Corvette Stingray. He said he doesn't have any specific trips planned, but can't wait to try out his new ride.

"The Virginia Lottery picking my name and then becoming the winner, it's just unbelievable," Jackson said.

Jackson was one of three finalists from more than 12,000 entries for the top prize. He was announced as the winner at the First Data 500 race in Martinsville on October 29.
