A Manatee County woman must feel pretty lucky after winning a MILLION dollars in a scratch-off lottery game.
In a press statement released Tuesday, the Florida Lottery said, Heather Hancock, 47, won the $1,000,000 A YEAR FOR LIFE SPECTACULAR Scratch-Off game.
The game features two top prizes of $1,000,000 a year for life. Hancock won one of the 234 other $1,000,000 prizes.
She chose to take her winnings in a lump-sum payment of $640,000.
The retailer at Rose Park Deli, located at 8003 U.S. Highway 301 North in Parrish, Florida, will get a bonus commission of $2,000 after selling the winning scratch-off ticket.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Hancock said. “I kept looking at my number and the matching number at the top, thinking, ‘Is this real?’ I didn’t sleep at all last night!”
The $1,000,000 A YEAR FOR LIFE SPECTACULAR Scratch-Off game costs $50.
