$20 Million Winning Lotto Ticket Sold At Florida Gas Station
It has been a big week of winning from one very particular area in Florida. On Monday, a lucky Florida lottery player won $1,000 a day for life in St. Cloud, Florida with a cash option of $7 million. (St. Cloud, Florida is about 25 miles south of Orlando.) Now we have a $20.5 million dollar winning lotto ticket sold just 14 miles away. It may be time for a drive to Central Florida to pick up some tickets!
St. Cloud Had Two Big Wins On Monday
Check out this stroke of luck. A winning CASH4LIFE ticket was sold Monday, August 5th, at the Publix on 4401 13th St., in St. Cloud. The Fantasy 5 also had a drawing on Monday and someone from St. Cloud won $27,614.41. That ticket was bought at the Murphy gas station at 4480 13th Street. The Publix and the Murphy gas station (in front of the Walmart) are literally across the street from each other!
Then A Winning Lotto Ticket Sold Just Down The Road
That brings us to Wednesday night, just 14 miles away at another Murphy USA gas station. Specifically, 3256 Vineland Road in Kissimmee. The Florida Lotto was the game of choice this time and Wednesday night’s numbers were 10-11-14-17-39-49. That winning lotto ticket is going to net one lucky Florida Lottery player $20.5 million.
Florida Lotto
There’s so many different games you can play that I had to look this one up. The Florida Lotto kinda looks like Powerball, but without the red ball. In Florida Lotto you select six numbers from 1 through 53. Get them all right and you win the jackpot, which starts at $1 million and goes up with each consecutive non jackpot winning drawing. So if you like the bigger jackpots of Mega Millions and Powerball, but don’t want that extra gold or red ball, this game may be for you. They do drawings every Wednesday and Saturday.
It’s been a very lucky week for one very specific area of Florida, just south of Orlando, and it’s only Thursday. Who’s next? I’m actually a scratch offs guy, but I did win $200 in July.
The 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Offs With All Top Prizes Remaining
7 is often viewed as a lucky number, so when I saw that there were 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Offs with all their top prizes still unclaimed, I saw it as a sign. It’s time to take a look at some Florida Lottery tickets that could score big. One note – this data is as of 7/24/24, so these tickets that I’ll mention have all their winners out there as of today. It’s always possible that someone is holding a winner that hasn’t cashed it in yet.
Losing Money On Florida Lottery Scratch Offs
There is one ticket on this list I’m very familiar with, because I tried and failed. It’s the $50 500X The Cash ticket with a grand prize of $25 million. It has a secondary prize of $1 million that has been hitting. In July this ticket has had million dollar winners in Ocala, Hollywood, and Fort Myers. 2 of those winners were bought at Publix. So I dropped a hundred down on two tickets at the Publix in Estero and got – absolutely nothing. Losing a hundred bucks on lottery tickets stings a bit. But, you can’t have big winners if you don’t have losers. And that was me.
$1 Million A Year For Life
An update on this particular game. There’s 2 big winning tickets for the ‘Million a Year For Life’ and one of them has been claimed. MARQUIS ALLEN ANDERSON of Fort Lauderdale, Florida won the big prize. A million dollars a year for the rest of your life. Marquis took the cash option and got the lump sum of 16 million. That’s a tough decision.
The 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Offs With All Top Prizes Remaining
So let’s get to why we’re here. As of today there are 7 Florida Lottery Scratch Off tickets with all of their top prizes still on the board. As I learned, using this method doesn’t guarantee you a winner, it just means that no one has hit big, yet. Good luck. All information is courtesy of the Florida Lottery website.
$20 MONOPOLY™ SECRET VAULT
The Florida Lottery issued several new Monopoly games on July 1st. This is the $20 one. 4 people can claim a $5 million dollar grand prize, and no one has yet.
$10 MONOPOLY™ SECRET VAULT
EDIT: As I was writing this article, this ticket updated and showed that one of the four $2 million dollar winning tickets had been claimed. The winning ticket was sold at the Speedway on Palm Beach Blvd in Fort Myers. So – 3 of the 4 big winners are still out there.
$5 MONOPOLY™ SECRET VAULT
For 6 lucky scratchers, $5 can get you a million. Like the other Monopoly cards, this one just came out so there’s not a lot of data on them. The Monopoly cards are always popular, so I’d definitely expect to see these at the counter.
$2 MONOPOLY™ SECRET VAULT
I love the $2 tickets because they’re great for gift giving. Shove 5 of these in a birthday card and you are good. Want to really feel good? Hand some out at a nursing home. 8 grand prize winners will win $100,000.
$1 MONOPOLY™ SECRET VAULT
A big thank you to the Florida Lottery for still making $1 tickets. I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t, with inflation, their profit margin on these cannot be great. The same things I said about the $2 tickets holds true with the $1 ones. Great for gifts. EDIT: Ok, so 2 of the 20 $10,000 grand prize tickets have been claimed. One in Boynton Beach at a Publix, and one in Haines City at a 7-11. So, 18 of the 20 top prizes remain.
GOLD RUSH LEGACY
Ok, let’s get away from the Monopoly games and on to this one. It’s a bit of an outlier in that the game came out in April and none of the four $10 million dollar grand prizes have been claimed, yet. The secondary prize of $1 million still has 17 of the 20 winning tickets out there. It’s a $20 ticket that seems to not be hitting. Is it due? Who knows. I’m just putting out the data, but I do plan on looking for this one when I go to Publix tonight. Wish me luck.
500X THE CASH
There’s my nemesis. I dropped a hundred dollars picking up 2 of these and won nothing. The game has two $25 million dollar winning tickets out there and 121 of 160 of the $1 million dollar winning tickets yet to be claimed. The Florida Lottery released this game back in January, so it’s not new. It’s just that no one has hit it big yet.
