Another Lucky Winner Joins the Club
José Ramírez, a 59-year-old man from Miami, recently struck gold with a scratch-off ticket. He purchased the $20 GOLD RUSH LIMITED game and won a staggering $1 million prize. Talking about a life-changing moment!
The Florida Lottery announced that Ramírez claimed his prize at the Lottery’s Miami District Office. Instead of receiving the money in installments, he opted for a one-time lump sum payment of $795,000. And let’s not forget the Circle K convenience store located at 24996 Overseas Highway in Summerland Key, which sold the winning scratch-off ticket. As a result, the store will receive a cool $2,000 commission. Talk about being lucky all around!
Get Scratching – More Prizes Await!
If you’re feeling a surge of excitement, you’re not alone. The GOLD RUSH LIMITED $20 scratch-off game is packed with thrilling possibilities. With 32 top prizes worth $5 million and 100 prizes of $1 million up for grabs, anyone could strike it big.
But it doesn’t stop there. This game also offers over 33,000 additional prizes ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. The odds of winning are 1 in 2.65, making it an enticing option for those looking to try their luck.
Scratch-Off Games at the Heart of the Action
Did you know that scratch-off games make up a significant portion of the Florida Lottery’s gaming portfolio? A whopping 72 percent of ticket sales in the 2022-2023 fiscal year came from these games. Talk about a popular choice!
And it’s no wonder why. Scratch-off games have contributed a staggering $18.39 billion to the Education Improvement Trust Fund (EETF) since their inception. So, not only can you have fun and potentially win big, but you’ll also be supporting education in the process. It’s a win-win!
Join the Growing List of Winners
Ramírez and his $1 million win aren’t the only success stories. Mario Torres, a 47-year-old resident of Boynton Beach, also struck it rich with the same GOLD RUSH LIMITED scratch-off game. He won an identical sum of $795,000 and chose the lump sum payment option too. Talk about a shared lucky streak!
And that’s not all. Just a few weeks ago in November, a lucky Florida woman named Janice Velez won a staggering $5 million playing the Florida Lottery’s CASHWORD scratch-off game. Can you imagine the excitement of holding that winning ticket?
These stories remind us that fortune could be just a scratch away. So go ahead, try your luck, and who knows, you might just find yourself joining the ever-growing club of lucky lottery winners. Happy scratching!
