ROANOKE – The Virginia Lottery will present a Made in Virginia Award to a Daleville woman this morning. The awards recognize exceptional people who got their start in Virginia public schools and found success in their career, overcome adversity or demonstrated a passion for service to their community. Just four people statewide will receive the awards, representing four geographic areas of the state. Each gets to present $9,000 in prizes to the Virginia K-12 public school of their choice, which in this case is Lucy Addison Middle School in Roanoke.
