The Florida Lottery has announced that Derrell Ray, 19, of Belle Glade, has claimed a $1 million top prize from the 50X THE CASH Scratch-Off game. Mr. Ray claimed his prize at the Lottery’s West Palm Beach District Office and elected to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000.00.
Ray’s winning ticket was purchased at the Chevron located at 11711 Okeechobee Boulevard in Royal Palm Beach. And in a nice little bonus, that Chevron store is getting a $2,000 commission for selling the lucky ticket.
