A lucky man wins $1 million recently in scratch off lottery game

A Lake County man won $1 million playing a Florida Lottery scratch-off game.

It was the same scratch-off game another Florida resident claimed a $1 million prize just four days earlier. The most recent winner, Andrew Smith, 55, of Lady Lake, claimed a $1 million prize from the $1 Million A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game.

He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000. Smith purchased his winning ticket from Winn-Dixie, 820 Old Camp Road, in The Villages.

The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket. On Dec. 15, the Florida Lottery announced Qiriako Kaci, 57, of Key West, claimed a $1 million prize playing the same scratch-off game.
