California woman claims $750,000 LUCKY MONEY jackpot while visiting family in Miami

The Florida Lottery announces that Litzy Ruiz, 45, of Pasadena, California, claimed the $750,000 LUCKY MONEY™ jackpot from the October 27, 2017, drawing at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
“I usually don’t play the Lottery at home in California, but I decided to purchase a LUCKY MONEY ticket while visiting family in Miami,” Ruiz explained. “Winning this incredible jackpot is definitely a good excuse to extend my time in Florida!”
Ruiz chose to receive her winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $552,594.30. She purchased her winning LUCKY MONEY ticket from Publix, located at 8680 Southwest 24th Street in Miami. The retailer received a bonus commission of $1,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
The next LUCKY MONEY drawing will be held Friday, November 3, 2017, at 11:15 p.m. ET, with a $550,000 jackpot. The LUCKY MONEY drawings are broadcast on 17 carrier stations throughout the state.
