Yorjhans Rodriguez Damas from Tampa, Florida, is celebrating a significant lottery win after claiming a $1 million prize from the $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular scratch-off game.

Opting for a lump-sum payment of $640,000.00, Rodriguez Damas secured his winnings at the Florida Lottery's Tampa District Office. The winning ticket was purchased at Silver 7 Food Mart on West Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa. As a bonus, the retailer receives a $2,000 commission for selling the winning scratch-off ticket.

The $50 scratch-off game, $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular, launched in February, featuring two top prizes of $1 million a year for life and a total of 234 prizes of $1 million.

With over $1.6 billion in cash prizes, this game has captured the enthusiasm of lottery players. Scratch-off games continue to be a significant part of the Lottery's offerings, constituting approximately 72 percent of ticket sales in the fiscal year 2022-2023 and contributing more than $18.39 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) since their inception.
