Florida Lottery Winners Claim $1 Million Prizes, Totaling $1.92 Million

Jose Perez, a 53-year-old man from Kissimmee, Florida, recently claimed a $1 million prize from the Florida Lottery's 'A Year For Life Spectacular' scratch-off game, opting for a lump-sum payout of $640,000. He purchased the lucky ticket at a local 7-Eleven, which will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for the sale. This game, priced at $50, is popular among players, offering two top prizes of $1 million a year for life and a total of 234 million-dollar prizes. Scratch-off games constitute a significant portion of Florida Lottery sales, generating approximately 74% of total ticket sales for the 2023-2024 fiscal year and contributing over $19.80 billion to the state's Educational Enhancement Trust Fund. Additionally, David Martinez from Kissimmee also won $1 million from the $20 GOLD RUSH LEGACY scratch-off game, demonstrating the ongoing success of lottery games in Florida. Both winners highlight the potential financial rewards that lottery games can provide to players and local retailers.
