The winner of Virginia's largest-ever lottery jackpot claimed $348 million - and revealed their very first purchase was a quirky item

A Mega Millions player has claimed the largest lottery prize in Virginia history after hitting a $348 million jackpot — and now they plan to buy a lawn mower.

At $348 million, it’s the largest lottery jackpot won in Virginia, and the lucky winner already has their eyes on a big purchase: a zero-radius riding lawn mower.

An anonymous person claimed a $348 million jackpot last month, and they told lottery officials about a practical purchase they plan to make.

The $348 million jackpot in the June 27 Mega Millions drawing was won by a ticket bought at an E&C Mid-Atlantic convenience store at 14878 Northumberland Highway in Burgess.
