FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Two Floridians are starting 2022 as millionaires after claiming the top prize from a Florida Lottery scratch-off ticket.
Lori Kellington, 56, of Fort Lauderdale and Wanda Cortez-Tapia, 55, of Crescent City both played the $1,000,00 Holiday Winnings scratch-Off game. They decided to receive their winnings as a one-time lump-sum payment of $795,000.
The ticket Kellington purchased was from a Winn-Dixie on North Ocean Boulevard in Fort Lauderale. Tapia's ticket was bought at a Circle K on U.S. Highway 17 in Pierson.
Both stores will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the tickets.
Holiday Winnings features more than $73 million in cash prizes, including six top prizes of $1 million for just $5.
