Lottery ticket worth $1 million sold at Florida Publix. Here’s where
A grocery shopper decided to splurge on a scratch-off lottery ticket at a Publix in Florida — and won a $1 million prize.
Oscar Lopez Peluszkiewiez won a life-changing windfall in the $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular game, the Florida Lottery announced May 13.
The Cape Coral man bought his $50 ticket at the Publix Super Market at Shops at Village Walk in Fort Myers, beating the 1-in-185,709 odds to win a second-tier prize of $1 million, records show.
The 58-year-old headed up to Tallahassee to claim his prize, leaving with a lump sum of $640,000, lottery officials said.
The southwest Florida Publix store received a $2,000 bonus for selling the lucky scratcher.
