Middleburg man claims $1 million top prize in the FLORIDA 20X THE CASH Scratch-Off game

Posted on August 28, 2018

The Florida Lottery announces that Steven Lofton, 39, of Middleburg, claimed a $1 million top prize in the FLORIDA 20X THE CASH Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $770,000.00.

Lofton purchased his winning ticket from Shop & Hop, located at 7560 North U.S. Highway 19 in Fanning Springs. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

The $5 game, FLORIDA 20X THE CASH, launched in January, and features 14 top prizes of $1 million, and more than $110 million in cash prizes. The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-4.22.

Scratch-Offs are an important part of the Lottery’s portfolio of games, generating more than $871 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF) in FY 2017-18, and comprising approximately 69 percent of ticket sales.
