Lakeland man receives $1 million birthday gift after playing the GOLD RUSH CLASSIC Scratch-Off game

Posted on July 24, 2019

The Florida Lottery announces that Wadsonley Lubin, of Lakeland, claimed a $1 million prize from the $20 GOLD RUSH CLASSIC Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee, four days after his 29th birthday. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $710,000.00.

Lubin purchased his winning ticket from Broadway Food Mart, located at 1000 North Combee Road in Lakeland. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

The $20 GOLD RUSH CLASSIC game launched in October 2018 and gives players the opportunity to win up to $5,000,000. Overall odds of winning are one-in-2.99.

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.
