Posted on December 27, 2018

The Florida Lottery announces that Frank Slomkowski, 68, of Defuniak Springs, claimed a $1 million prize in the $5,000,000 GOLD RUSH CLASSIC Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his prize in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $710,000.00.

Slomkowski purchased his winning ticket from Defuniak Springs Food Mart, located at 435 Highway 90 West in Defuniak Springs. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
