Most people opt for the lump sum, which lowers the winnings a bit as well...

So you win less than $340, PLUS take away taxes, PLUS there's the possibility that there would be more than 1 winner, in which case they would split the jackpot...

.... But nah... I don't know if they have powerball in VA..... I know DC does, but that's aaallllll the way across the river...
