A Vero Beach woman won a $1 million top prize from a scratch-off ticket bought at a Fort Pierce Winn-Dixie.
The Florida Lottery announced the winner July 9 saying in a news release Patricia Ryan claimed her lump sum of $640,000 from Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
She bought the ticket at the Winn-Dixie in Lakewood Park at the Indrio Crossings Shopping Center, 4870 N Kings Hwy.
Ryan won the second top prize of the $50 per-ticket game whose title describes the top prize ‘$1 million A Year For Life Spectacular.’
According to the state agency, the game allows for two $1 million-for-life top prize winners and 234 possible $1 million prize winners.
So far this year, no one has won the $1 million-for-life prize while 49 second top prize tickets have been sold, according to the Florida Lottery website.
