Posted on January 10, 2017

The Florida Lottery announces that Billie Brown, 61, of Jacksonville, claimed a top prize in the $1,000,000 CASHWORD 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.

Brown purchased her winning ticket from Kangaroo Express, located at 14376 in Jacksonville Beach. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
