If someone wins the big prize, they will have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $273.3 million before taxes, lottery officials said.

There was one second-tier winner. One ticket holder in Virginia matched all five white balls to win $1 million.
