Franklin Winberry Sr. Of Jacksonville Wins $1 Million Scratch-off
Franklin Winberry Sr., is a 68-year-old from Jacksonville, and he just hit the jackpot with a jaw-dropping $1 million win from the Florida Lottery. So listen up because we’ve got a tale that’ll make you believe in miracles!
Now, Franklin made a genius move by deciding to take a shot at the lottery, and boy, did that pay off! According to WFLA, with just a $50 investment in the 500X THE CASH scratch-off game, Franklin found himself swimming in a sea of dollar bills! Man I wish I did that! I could be the one laughing all the way to the bank!
I don’t know what kind of finger exercises Franklin was doing, but his scratching skills were off the charts! And hey, let’s not forget the J and J food store on Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville Beach, where he bought that golden ticket. Those cash registers must be singing sweet melodies of joy, thanks to a delightful $2,000 commission.
But wait, there’s more! The 500X THE CASH game isn’t playing around. They’ve got not one, but two mind-boggling top prizes of $25 million up for grabs! Franklin might have snagged a cool million, but someone out there could still become a mega-millionaire. So, if you’ve got five bucks itching for some action, this could be your golden ticket to fame and fortune.
Franklin Winberry Sr Wins Big:
Now, let’s talk odds, shall we? The Florida Lottery’s throwing numbers at us, saying that the chances of hitting that elusive $25 million jackpot are a mind-numbing 1-in-21.4 million. I’m no math whiz, but those odds are slimmer than a supermodel on a celery diet. However, with overall winning odds of 1-in-4.5, dreams really do come true for the bold risk-takers. So, take a cue from Franklin Winberry Sr., and grab that scratch-off ticket, put on your lucky socks, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
The Florida Lottery Scratch Off Tickets With All The Grand Prizes Gone
It’s summertime in Southwest Florida, and it’d certainly be nice to catch a big win before hurricane season. Everyone talks ‘hurricane prep’ this time of year, but you know what’s needed? Money to buy all the hurricane prep. Everything costs more than it did last year. Well, most everything. Florida Lottery scratch off tickets are still priced the same. But some of these tickets are no bargain. Did you know that some of the tickets behind the counter have no chance of hitting big?
The Florida Lottery keeps very close tabs on their scratch off tickets. Way more than we could ever hope to do. But one thing they do for us, is publish their information. But it is a lot of information, so I’ll break it down for you.
When you go the counter or the machine you really have no idea what you’re doing. You pick one that you think “feels lucky” and then give them your money. A $5 ticket where you could win $500,000? Sounds nice – but it’s not going to happen if you get the wrong ticket. It’d really be nice if this information was posted when you go to buy tickets, but if they did that no one would buy the tickets where you couldn’t win big. So I’ll do it for you.
Here’s the list of Florida Lottery scratch off tickets with all the Grand Prizes gone
Some of these still have some bigger prizes available, but all the big prize winners are gone. We’ll also touch on some of the newer games that have all their big top prizes left. So let’s get started. This list is current as of July 4th, 2023.
