A Florida woman wins a big jackpot in scratch off lottery game

A Florida woman is now a millionaire after her $5 lottery ticket became a life-changing amount of money.

According to Florida Lottery, 41-year-old Racquel Maxey, of Kissimmee, claimed her $1 million prize from playing the GOLD RUSH DOUBLER Scratch-Off game.

The winner chose to take home a one-time, lump-sum payment of $685,000. Lottery officials said she purchased the winning scratcher at a 7-Eleven located at 4015 West Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee.

The retailer will also get a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the lucky ticket. When you play the GOLD RUSH DOUBLER game, $188 million in cash prizes are up for grabs, including 28 top prizes of $1 million.

The Florida Lottery's website says 20 prizes remain. The overall odds of winning any prize is 1 in 3.98. It's no secret that scratch-off games make many Floridians much richer than they were before.

One woman even had a similar situation, except she ended up taking home the last $1 million top prize from a popular game.
