The Virginia Lottery said one lottery ticket purchased earlier this summer matched all six numbers in the June 27 Mega Millions drawing, raking in $348 million — the largest jackpot ever won in Virginia.
The prizewinner purchased the golden ticket at E & C VA, located at 14878 Northumberland Highway in Burgess, Va. For about four weeks, the jackpot went unclaimed until one lucky player walked into Virginia Lottery headquarters in Richmond and presented officials with the life-changing ticket.
The winner, who opted to stay anonymous, told lottery officials that they plan to use their earnings to buy a zero-radius riding lawn mower. They also chose to receive their winnings through a one-time cash option of $155.6 million before taxes, as opposed to taking the $348 million in annual payments over 30 years, officials noted.
The winning ticket was the 10th time a Mega Millions jackpot had been won in Virginia since the game began in 2002.
Virginia Lottery Executive Director Khalid Jones visited E & C VA on July 22 to present E & C Mid-Atlantic Vice President of Operations Juan Torres with a $50,000 bonus for selling the historic ticket.
