Cocoa man claims $550,000 LUCKY MONEY jackpot

The Florida Lottery announces that Haldane Allen, 45, of Cocoa, claimed the $550,000 LUCKY MONEY™ jackpot from the February 14, 2017, drawing at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
“I always play the same numbers, and for some reason this time I decided to switch it up,” said Allen. “That turned out to be the luckiest decision I’ve ever made!”
Allen chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $402,910.31. He purchased his winning LUCKY MONEY ticket from Sunshine Foodmart, located at 6570 North Harbor City Boulevard in Melbourne.
Total ticket sales for this LUCKY MONEY jackpot generated more than $534,000 for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
The next LUCKY MONEY drawing will be Tuesday, February 28, 2017, at 11:15 p.m. ET, with a $700,000 jackpot. The LUCKY MONEY drawings are broadcast on 17 carrier stations throughout the state. Winning numbers are available on the Lottery website, at retailers statewide and by phone at (850) 921-PLAY.
