South Florida woman wins $2 million Florida Lottery scratch-off prize
A West Palm Beach woman won a $2 million prize playing the Florida Lottery's SILVER STREAK scratch-off game.
Joan Gonzalez Tamarit chose to receive her winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,195,000.
Gonzalez bought her winning ticket at a Publix on Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach. The retailer received a $4,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
The $10 scratch-off game features more than $104 million in cash prizes, including four top prizes of $2 million and 354 prizes of $10,000. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are 1-in-3.44.
Scratch-off games made up about 74% of Florida Lottery ticket sales in its 2023-2024 fiscal year. They've generated nearly $19.80 billion for the state's Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
The Florida Lottery has contributed more than $48 billion to enhance education and sent over a million students to college through the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
