Alabama Man Hits Huge Jackpot In FL Lottery
This is exactly why I never miss an opportunity to buy some scratch-off tickets when I'm on my way to the beach, or anywhere else that sells scratch-off tickets.
The 500X THE CASH game is a $50 game with a top prize of $25 million, which is 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. Scratch-Off games are an essential part of the Lottery's portfolio of games, accounting for around 77% of ticket sales in the fiscal year 2021-2022. Scratch-Off games have generated more than $17.69 billion for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) since their inception.
It is said, "Governor Mee-maw don't allow no gamblin' round here".
Some say the Indian casinos won't allow any more "gamblin' round here".
Lottery winners in Alabama, like all other states, must pay taxes on their winnings, and they may have the option to receive their winnings as a lump sum or as annuity payments over a period of time. Additionally, it is worth noting that lottery winners can choose to remain anonymous or take other steps to protect their privacy.
Recently, Alex Mendoza Moreno, a 22-year-old resident of Auburn, AL, claimed a $1 million prize from the 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
He opted to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.00. Mendoza Moreno purchased his winning ticket from Food Mart, located at 710 North Highway 29 in Cantonment. As a result, the retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
