RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - A Richmond man has won the largest prize ever in a Virginia Lottery online instant game.

Jerard Hickman often plays online games through the Lottery’s website. Then, one recent Thursday, he played the Lucky Golden Multiplier game, winning the $785,414 jackpot.

“It feels fantastically awesome!” he told Virginia Lottery officials. “If that’s a word, that’s how it feels!”

Hickman is the district manager for a transportation company and said he has no immediate plans for the winnings, except to pay some bills.
