Posted on February 20, 2018

The Florida Lottery announces that William Smith, 54, of Summerfield, claimed the third of four $10 million top prizes in the $10,000,000 FORTUNE Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $7,348,000.00.

Smith purchased his winning ticket from Lake Weir Qwik King Food Store, located at 3820 Southeast Lake Weir Avenue in Ocala. The retailer will receive a $20,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

The $25 Scratch-Off game, $10,000,000 FORTUNE, features more than $623 million in total cash prizes, including 46 prizes of $1 million and four prizes of $10 million. The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-2.88.
