Florida Lottery Winner Gets $20 Million On A Scratch-Off
The Florida Lottery drew the grand prize in their $600 Million High Roller scratch-off game on 15th September.
And the big Florida lottery winner is Patricia Howell, 55, of Jacksonville. She just collected her check for $15,051,167.49 (as she opted for an immediate lump sum payment of the $20 million prize).
She originally won a $1,000 prize with her scratch-off ticket. All winners of the $1,000 and $20,000 prizes were automatically entered into the grand prize draw. In the end there were 9,117 winners in the running for the big $20 million prize.
(I don’t blame you if you didn’t choose to play this one though, as it was a $30 scratch-off game to play!)
Patricia plans to use her lottery winnings to help her family, travel and buy herself a new car.
