Lundy had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $675,982 before taxes and chose the cash option.
The chances of winning the top prize in the $10 game are 1 in 1,101,600, according to the Lottery. The chances of winning any prize are 1 in 3.52.
Because it sold the winning ticket, Kangaroo Express receives a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery.
As for what he’ll do with his winnings, Lundy told Lottery officials he hopes to buy a house.
