Mujer De Florida Casi Destroza Raspadito Ganador De $1 Millón

Una mujer en un condado de nuestro estado muy cerca de aquí casi se aleja de un premio de un millón de dólares después de jugar el juego raspadito $1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular y ganarse el premio gordo.

La Lotería de Florida dijo que Jill Rowell, de Grand Ridge, casi tiró su boleto ganador a la basura cuando un extraño le dijo que debería echar un segundo vistazo. Y eso fue lo que salvó su fortuna

El buen consejo fue muy útil cuando Rowell verificó nuevamente y se dio cuenta de que había ganado $1 millón. Sus probabilidades de llevarse a casa el premio del segundo lugar eran de 1 en 185.709.

Here are your Weekend Vibes, what’s happening in Southwest Florida May 5-7. It's a big party weekend for many people with the collision of Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby. These two events could not be more different, however, each draw big crowds for celebrations.

Sure, Cinco de Mayo is one day, May 5th. However, since it falls on a weekend, many Mexican themed restaurants and bars are hoping on the bandwagon and extending the celebration. For example, La Santa in Naples has events all weekend kicking off with a block party on Friday. There are too many celebrations to list here. You should have no trouble finding a good place to celebrate with a cold margarita and a hot plate of tacos.

The same holds true for the Kentucky Derby. Places such as the Ritz Carlton have more sophisticated celebration. However, once again, there are dozens of watch parties, complete with hat contests and friendly wagering, all over Southwest Florida. These two annual events aside, there are lots of things to do in Southwest Florida this weekend. Keep scrolling to find out more.
