Another $1,000,000 Florida Lottery scratch-off winner was revealed, and you guessed it, he purchased his ticket at Publix.
According to the Florida Lottery Rene Garcia, 51, of Miramar, chose the $50 500X The Cash scratch-off ticket and nailed it for $1,000,000.
Garcia chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.00.
He purchased his winning ticket from Publix, located at 15729 Pines Boulevard in Pembroke Pines. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning scratch-off ticket.
