TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Lottery announces that Daniel Torres, of Pompano Beach, claimed a $2 million top prize in the new FLORIDA 50X THE CASH Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his prize in a one-time, lump-sum of $1,600,000.

Torres purchased his winning ticket from Tamers Food Mart 6th Avenue, located at 4610 Northeast 6th Avenue in Oakland Park. The retailer will receive a $4,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

Even though he is only 19, Torres plans to make the most of his winnings by saving as much as possible. “I want to invest my money and really make the most of this opportunity,” he said.

The $10 game, FLORIDA 50X THE CASH, launched on January 15, and gives players the opportunity to multiply their winnings by up to 50 times! The game also offers over $162 million in cash prizes, plus eight $2 million top prizes! Overall odds of winning are one-in-3.46.

Scratch-Offs are an important part of the Lottery’s portfolio of games, generating more than $784 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) in FY 2016-17, and comprising approximately 68 percent of ticket sales.
