Lottery player wins $2 million jackpot on $10 ticket in Florida. Where was it sold?
A lottery player turned a $10 ticket sold at a Florida gas station into a $2 million jackpot prize.
Pamela Funk of Dixie County has claimed the top prize as a one-time sum of $1,370,000, the Florida Lottery said in a Sept. 18 news release.
Funk’s winning Gold Rush Doubler scratch-off ticket came from a Shell on Highway 19 in Old Town, which is part of north Florida’s Big Bend region.
She claimed her windfall at the Florida Lottery’s Gainesville District Office, about a 40-mile drive east from where the ticket was sold, officials said.
Funk, 67, beat the 1-in-4,555,185 odds of winning one of eight $2 million jackpot prizes in the game, according to the Florida Lottery. No more top prizes remain.
The Shell gas station will receive a $4,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, according to lottery officials.
