The ticket worth $239 million in last month's Mega Millions lottery wasn't the only winner, as public schools got more than $11.5 million.
Virginia lottery retailers sold more than 26 million tickets. State law requires all profits go to public schools.
"When the excitement builds for a Mega Millions jackpot, Virginia's public schools benefit," said executive director Penelope W. Kyle.
Lottery officials say last year, schools received more than $375 million.
Meanwhile, the winner of the jackpot has not come forward. The deadline is 180 days from the winning date of February 20th.
