Boca Raton resident bags $1 million fortune from a slot machine-style lottery ticket
In an unexpected stroke of luck, a Boca Raton resident has struck gold with a $1 million win from a $30 scratch-off ticket. The big win came from the Florida Lottery's popular game, the $15,000,000 Gold Rush Multiplier.
Purchased at the 7-Eleven store on State Road 7, this lucky participant managed to bag a prize with odds of 1 in 3,650,860. Three such prizes are still up for grabs. The retailer that sold the winning ticket will receive a $2,000 bonus commission.
The elated resident visited the Florida Lottery's West Palm Beach District Office to claim his big win. Choosing a lump cash sum, he walked away with $597,700.00 in winnings, before taxes.
As for plans for the newfound fortune, the winner kept his cards close to his chest. The lucky man will eternally remember the day he took a chance with a $30 scratch-off ticket and reaped a life-changing $1 million prize.
Apart from the $1 million prizes, the $15,000,000 Gold Rush Multiplier offers a jaw-dropping top prize of $15 million. Launched in September, the game features a total cash prize of over $486 million, with the minimum prize being $30.
Two out of the four top prizes remain unclaimed. The odds of winning the $15 million prize are 1 in 5,476,290. It's worth noting that the overall odds of winning any prize in this game are approximately 1 in 2.60.
Curiously, a few $1 million prizes have been claimed, such as that by Patricia Miles recently. However, the exact number of remaining $1 million prizes is not provided in the latest updates.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on the remaining prizes, it's best to consult directly with the Florida Lottery or their official website. Good luck to all the future winners!
The casino-and-gambling landscape in Florida has been electrified by the continued lotteries successes, such as the recent $1 million win from a $30 scratch-off ticket, which took a Boca Raton resident by surprise.
