Robert Gregory of Palmetto Florida Won $1 Million On A $5 Scratch Off
With all the news of Florida residents winning big on those $50 scratch offs, we forgot that the $5 cards can win big, too. 55 year old Robert Gregory of Palmetto, Florida did just that with a $5 GOLD RUSH DOUBLER card. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $685,000.00.
Robert bought his winning ticket at Publix, located at 9520 Buffalo Road in Palmetto. That’s the Publix off I75 just north of 275 in front of the Moccasin Wallow Golf Club. There’s a Jet’s Pizza there, too. Love me an 8 corner.
That’s Robert’s actual Florida Lottery winning ticket pictured above. I see he’s one of those that only scratches off the amount if it wins. A player with restraint.
If you’re considering picking up one of the $5 Gold Rush Doubler tickets, I have some good news.
There are still 17 of the one million dollar grand prize winners out there. Your odds of finding one are 1-in-2,010,516.
This card also has 295 $10,000 winners left to be claimed. Odds of hitting one of those is 1-in-120,287. Overall odds of winning ‘something’ is 1-in-3.98.
With all the news of people winning big on those $50 cards I was getting discouraged about the smaller ones. It’s good to see someone win some life changing money with 5 bucks. Put the $5 Gold Rush Doubler on your list, there’s a lot of big winners left.
Congratulations Robert Gregory on your million dollar win. Friend request sent.
