NEW JERSEY COUPLE MOVES TO FLORIDA; WINS $1 MILLION

~ Player Wins $1 Million From the $5,000,000 LUCK Scratch-Off Game! ~

TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Lottery announces that Kristen Frommer, 27, of Boynton Beach, claimed a $1 million prize from the $5,000,000 LUCK Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $760,000.00.

"This is the ultimate housewarming gift," Frommer told the Florida Lottery. "We moved down as renters two months ago, but now there's no question - we're buying a house and becoming Floridians!"

Frommer purchased her winning ticket from RaceTrac, located at 905 West Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

The $20 game, $5,000,000 LUCK, launched in September 2019 and features more than $329 million in cash prizes, including six top prizes of $5 million. The game's overall odds of winning are one-in-2.97.

Scratch-Off games are an important part of the Lottery's portfolio of games, comprising approximately 75 percent of ticket sales and generating more than $1 billion for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) in fiscal year 2019-20.
