The Florida Lottery announces that Wayne Bailey, 68, of Tavares, claimed a $5 million top prize in the $20 MONOPOLY™ JACKPOT Scratch-Off game at the Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $3,562,000.00.

Bailey purchased his winning ticket from Eustis Food Mart, located at 2137 East Orange Avenue in Eustis. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

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.
