Man who bought $5 Lottery scratch-off ticket at Fort Lauderdale Winn-Dixie wins a million
Buying a $5 scratch-off ticket paid off for one Fort Lauderdale man.
That’s because Remberto Recinos, 48, won the top prize of $1 million from the Monopoly Bonus Spectacular, the Florida Lottery announced Monday.
Recinos, who was the first person to win the top prize of that game, recently cashed in his ticket at a secure drop-box location near the Orlando District Office. He chose to receive his winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $815,000.
The lucky ticket was purchased at the Winn-Dixie at 3260 Davie Blvd. That location will receive $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.
