This was first made public by Florida lottery officials in an official news release.
“I’m just looking forward to upgrading to an electric toothbrush and splurging on a good pair of flip flops,” Brian told lottery officials on Tuesday, October 19, in a news release.

In the news release, the officials disclosed that Brian chose to take his winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1m (410,910,000).
