In Lakeland, Florida, Geraldine Gimblet purchased a $2 million Bonus Cashword scratch-off ticket from a gas station to celebrate her daughter's recovery from breast cancer.

After the clerk initially told her that there were none left, he found the last one. Gimblet, accompanied by her daughter and granddaughter, collected her prize of $1.6 million as a lump sum at the lottery headquarters in Tallahassee.

The win was a turning point for Gimblet and her family as she had spent her life savings on her daughter's cancer treatment.
