A 36-year-old Jacksonville man became the second from the city this week to take home a $1 million prize in a $20 Florida Lottery scratch-off game.
The man collected his winnings through a secured drop box at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $715,000.
The man bought his winning ticket at the Pirates Food Store, at 96837 Blackrock Road in Yulee. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning scratch-off ticket.
The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-2.97.
