Daniel Reynolds won the prize after purchasing a $50 “$25,000,000 Mega Money” ticket. He claimed his winnings on Friday, August 21, choosing a $650,000 one-time payment before taxes instead of $50,000 annually for 20 years.

Reynolds said he plans to use the money to pay off his mortgage and travel.
