A visit to a Florida convenience store has made someone rich. But they may not know it yet.
Florida Lottery officials say a Florida Lotto ticket worth $3 million was sold at the Murphy USA on West U.S. Highway 90 in Lake City, about a 60-mile drive southwest from Jacksonville.
The drawing was Saturday, March 29, and the winning numbers are: 7-25-32-34-40-49.
Odds of getting all six numbers correctly in the game are 1 in 22,957,480.
Winners in lotto drawings have 180 days to claim prizes, and a choice will need to be made: Take the money in 30 annual payments, or get it as a lump sum.
Basic tickets in the Florida Lotto are $2 and jackpots start at $1 million and grow until someone matches all the numbers.
Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
