It seems good luck is spreading in South Florida. For the third time last week, someone from the area has hit the jackpot in a Florida Lottery scratch-off game, according to CBS Miami.
The latest resident to continue the winning streak is Juliana Pavon of Weston. The Broward County woman scored a $1 million prize from the $5,000,000 Luck Scratch-Off game. Pavon decided to take home a one-time, lump-sum payment of $760,000.
The lucky Weston resident won after taking a trip to a Publix located at 4567 Weston Road. The store will get a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
"The $20 game, $5,000,000 LUCK, launched in September 2019 and features more than $329 million in cash prizes, including six top prizes of $5 million. The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-2.97," reporters say.
Floridians aren't the only ones becoming millionaires. A flight attendant won big after she was left stranded at an airport. One man listened to his gut when he purchased a winning lottery ticket.
