The winner had the choice of taking the $348 million jackpot in annual payments over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $155.6 million before taxes. That person chose the cash option.
The winner told Virginia Lottery officials that the plan for the money is to buy a zero-radius riding lawn mower.
