Florida Lottery Player Scoops $1 Million Prize from 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off
When ever I hear about another Florida Lottery player that wins big in the lottery, I wanna scratch my head. Why didn’t I win? I guess I didn’t scratch enough lottery tickets!
According to the Tampa Free Press, the Florida Lottery recently announced that Vanessa Tirado-Gutierrez, a resident of DeFuniak Springs, which honestly sounds like a made-up place, has hit the jackpot!
Vanessa won a cool one million dollars! Now, she decided to go the “I-want-it-now” route and took a lump-sum payment of $820,000. Not Bad! So where did she buy this lucky ticket? I know I’m very particular about where I purchase. It has to sound like a Lucky place. Also, it has to be near my house in Cape Coral. I’m not driving too far out of the way for my hopes and dreams.
Well, our winning Florida Lottery player got hers from a place called Highway 83 General Store. If that doesn’t scream “I just stopped at the first place I saw,” I don’t know what does. But hey, don’t judge a store by its name, right? The Highway 83 General Store is now $2,000 richer, just for selling a ticket that turned someone into a millionaire!
The Scratch-Off game that Vanessa played is called “500X THE CASH.” I mean, sounds like a REALLY good candy bar. But if it can turn me into a millionaire, I wouldn’t care what it tastes like! This game boasts a top prize of a mind-blowing $25 million, Let’s not forget the odds of 1 in 4.50. Now, I’m no math whiz, but you’re saying there’s a chance!
So, next time you’re hanging out in DeFuniak Springs or any place with an equally funky name, don’t forget to give that Scratch-Off ticket a shot.
