The new $50, 500X The Cash scratch-off seems non-stop with winners! Two more Florida men claimed $1,000,000 prizes, according to the Florida Lottery.
The Florida Lottery announced that Priest Redden, of Arcadia, and William Murray, of Marco Island, each claimed a $1 million prize from the new 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game at the Lottery’s Fort Myers District Office.
Redden chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.00. He purchased his winning ticket from Arcadia Discount Liquor & Tobacco, located at 2009 Southeast Highway 70 in Arcadia. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
Murray also 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 175 South Barfield Drive in Marco Island. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
The new $50 game, 500X THE CASH, features a top prize of $25 million-the largest ever offered on a Florida Scratch-Off game-and the best odds to become an instant millionaire! The game’s overall odds of winning are 1-in-4.50.
