Local Jacksonville resident pockets $1 million from scratch-off game victory
An Exciting $1 Million Windfall in Jacksonville
In a twist of fate, a 39-year-old woman from Jacksonville claimed a life-altering prize of $1 million from the Florida Lottery's $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game.
Grocery shopping led to a massive win
The lucky lady picked up her ticket at Vakok Asian Grocery, located at 5757 Beney Road in Jacksonville, and, quite unexpectedly, managed to beat the long odds of 1 in 185,709. Walking away with a $1 million payout, it was the store that profited too, earning a $2,000 bonus commission from the Florida Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Having visited the Lottery's headquarters in Tallahassee, the lady decided to take the payment as a one-time lump sum of $640,000, avoiding any future tax obligations associated with the annual payment option. As of her latest visit to the Lottery headquarters, the 39-year-old has yet to reveal her plans for her newfound fortune.
