Florida’s Newest Millionaire: Maurice Ennis Hits the Jackpot with $1 Million Win
Meet Maurice Ennis, a 61-year-old from the sunny town of San Antonio, Florida, who just cashed in on a serious windfall. No, we’re not talking about pocket change either. We’re talking about a jaw-dropping one million dollars!
According to the Florida lottery, Maurice decided to try his luck with the $1,000,000 A YEAR FOR LIFE SPECTACULAR Scratch-Off game. He must’ve had a gut feeling that day when he strolled into Jiffy Food and Deli on College Avenue. Little did he know that his visit would turn into a life-altering event!
Now, you might be wondering, “Why take a million dollars a year for life when you can have it all at once?” Well, Maurice had his reasons. He opted for the lump-sum payment, totaling a cool $640,000.00. It seems he’s got some big plans in mind. Who can blame him with that kind of dough in the bank?
But Jiffy Food and Deli, the place where Maurice snagged his golden ticket, is not going home empty-handed. They’re pocketing a nifty $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.

So, there you have it, a tale of luck, fortune, and an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Maurice Ennis is living proof that dreams can come true, and sometimes those dreams come with a million-dollar price tag. Who’s ready to try their luck next?
Powerball Numbers And Red Ball That Have Been The Luckiest
As the Powerball jackpot now approaches two billion, public interest builds. Personally, here in Florida, I don’t even play my Powerball numbers until it hits a billion. We’ve become so spoiled. Not just Florida people. Everywhere.
Although the big jackpot would be nice, we’ve had some recent luck in Florida with the secondary prize of 1 million. It’s called “Match 5” when you get the 5 white ball numbers correct, but not the red one. Back on September 25th three Match 5 tickets were sold in Florida. One from a Publix in Kissimmee. Another from a Walmart in Kissimmee. And the third one was from a Circle K in Eustis. 2 more here in Florida on the September 30th drawing. The October 9th drawing had a 2 million dollar winner in Hollywood Florida. So we’re close.
The one million dollar prize would be nice, but I want the one billion +. With the one million win, after taxes and lump sum early payment penalty, you’re looking at somewhere around $640,000.00. Maybe less. That’s barely enough to buy a decent house in Southwest Florida. I remember the times when being a millionaire meant you could retire early. Not so much anymore.
With the jackpot hitting in the billion range, it’s time to head to Publix of a nearby gas station and pick up tickets. But rather than just getting random numbers, let’s take a deeper look into this. Some numbers pop up more than others. The “lucky numbers” if you will. So thanks to Powerball Statistics, we’re able to see which numbers come up the most.
Powerball Numbers And Red Ball That Have Been The Luckiest
This data was updated on Tuesday October 10, 2023. The data is based on 948 drawings since Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
If you’re reading this after that date, well, you may need to adjust the numbers. Finally, this is for entertainment only. Any money you lose is on you. I’m just providing some data. I haven’t won with these Powerball Numbers yet, either. Good luck everyone. Let’s have a look at those numbers.
