A fortunate Flagler county guy wins $1 million recently in scratch off lottery

A Flagler County man claimed a $1 million prize Friday from a Florida Lottery scratch-off game.

Maher Nameh, of Palm Coast, bought the winning $1,000,000 A Year for Life Spectacular game at J Discount, located at 1041 North US Highway 1 in Ormond Beach.

Nameh claimed the prize and chose a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000. J Discount will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling a winning scratch-off ticket.

The $50 $1,000,000 A Year for Life Spectacular scratch-off game launched in February.

There were only two $1 million prizes designated for this game. There is one left now, according to the Florida Lottery website, along with millions of lesser prizes.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said.
