Florida resident clinches $1 million from Scratcher ticket, while an Arizona player pockets $1 million from Mega Millions draw.
Lottery Wins Across the Globe and in Florida
Excitement is in the air as lottery winners from various parts of the world and Florida claim their life-changing prizes. Here's a roundup of some recent winners and the crazy games they played.
In St. Petersburg, Florida, a lucky player has won the Mega Millions jackpot with the numbers 5, 20, 26, 49, 51, and Mega Ball 24. The winning ticket was purchased at the Wildwood Meat Market on 28th Street South. The store that sold the winning ticket will receive a $2,000 bonus commission.
Meanwhile, in Pinellas County, Florida, Charles Kelly Junior has claimed a $1 million prize from a Gold Rush Doubler scratch-off ticket. The odds of winning anything at all in Gold Rush Doubler are 1-in-3.98, according to lottery officials.
A ticket purchased in southern Arizona also won a $1 million prize from the Mega Millions drawing, but no one in Arizona won a $1 million prize in a recent draw. In fact, the $423 million jackpot drawing on September 19, 2025, had no jackpot or match-5 winners anywhere, causing the jackpot to roll over to $451 million for the next draw.
Scratch-off games have generated just shy of $19 billion for education in the state of Florida. These games, including Gold Rush Doubler, offer players a chance to win significant prizes. Gold Rush Doubler tickets cost $5.
Moving beyond the United States, a lucky Australian woman has won a life-changing AUD 100 million jackpot playing Powerball.
It's not just the big jackpots that are making winners. In Michigan, a player recently claimed a $260,000 second chance jackpot after initially thinking it was a scam.
Perhaps the most impressive story comes from North Carolina, where Maurice Young turned a $50 investment into a $1 million win from the Lottery's $10 Million Spectacular scratch-off game. The game features more than 13 million winning tickets and a total of $188 million in cash prizes.
Whether it's Mega Millions, Powerball, or scratch-off games, the thrill of winning a life-changing amount never fades. As the lottery continues to generate funds for education and create millionaires, the anticipation for the next big win remains high.
