Tallahassee man claims $1 million top prize from the new GOLD RUSH CLASSIC Scratch-Off game

Posted on February 21, 2019

The Florida Lottery announces that Clayton James, 41, of Tallahassee, claimed a $1 million top prize in the new $5 GOLD RUSH CLASSIC Scratch-Off game, at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time lump-sum payment of $705,000.00.

James purchased his ticket from Seminole Shell, located at 1610 West Tennessee Street in Tallahassee. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

The $5 game, $1,000,000 GOLD RUSH CLASSIC, launched in January and offers more than $200.5 million in prizes, including 32 top prizes of $1 million. The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-3.97.

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.
