Facebook lottery group scoops a big jackpot recently in scratch off lottery
A Florida woman was the latest person to claim a $1 million prize from the Florida Lottery’s $1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular scratch-off game.
According to the Florida Lottery, the ticket was claimed by 60-year-old Elizabeth Williams, of Jacksonville, on behalf of the Lucky Lotto Champs Facebook group.
The group chose to receive their winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000. The group consists of five Lottery players located across Florida.
Lottery officials said the group was on a Facebook Live video watching as Williams scratched the $1 million-winning ticket.
“We’re a close-knit group that enjoys putting our money together to play scratch-offs,” Williams said. “When I scratched the ticket, I couldn’t believe it. All I could say was ‘O-M-G’ over and over.”
