Texas resident scores $1m off Florida scratch-off lottery ticket
Here's a zingier take on that lottery win:
A bloke from Texas takes a gamble in the Sunshine State and scoops a life-chattering million-buck prize! That's right, a 30-year-old chap nabbed a cool $1m after giving the $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game a go in Florida.
The lucky jackpot winner, hailing from humble Katy, Texas, snagged his winning ticket at none other than Walmart Liquor Box on 1619 Del Prado Boulevard S. in Cape Coral. And boy, are they glad they did! The $50 ticket transformed into a life-altering $1m tier-two prize. Talk about fortunate finds!
As if it wasn't enough, the vendor's pockets will undoubtedly jingle a bit more, with a well-earned $2,000 bonus commission for moving a winning ticket. Kudos to them!
Recently, the Texas transplant made his way to the Florida Lottery's headquarters in Tallahassee to snap up his massive windfall. He opted for a one-time lump sum of $640,000.00, but sadly kept his grand plans for the cheddar under wraps.
With more than $1.6bn in cash prizes remaining playable in Florida's $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game, there's still a chance for you to join our lucky winner! Scratch-off games dominate the Florida Lottery's ticket sales and nearly 2,300 people have already become millionaires thanks to these games, with over $65.5bn in prizes given away.
The $1,000,000 A Year For Life scratch-off game originally offered not one, but two top prizes of $1m a year for life. Whilst the lifetime jackpots have all been claimed, there are still 54 more tier-two prizes of $1m each up for grabs. The odds of winning one of these big bucks? 1 in 185,709, but hey, that's fortune for ya!
Smaller tier-three prizes, worth a respectable $50,000 apiece, have even better odds of landing in your lap – 1 in 120,711! There are currently 84 such prizes still waiting to be won. Plus, there are loads of lower-tier prizes between $20,000 and $100 scattered throughout.
The overall odds of nabbing any prize from the $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular game? 1 in 4.5 – pretty lucky, eh?
