It’s no coincidence that Calvin Ciociola posted a video of “If I Were A Rich Man” from Broadway’s “Fiddler on the Roof.”
Tuesday the Florida Lottery announced the 51-year-old from Hawthorne claimed the second of six top prizes in the $10,000 A Week For Life scratch-off game. Ciociola opted for annual payments of $520,000 for 20 years.
He purchased the $20 ticket from Circle K at 1137 Florida 20 in Interlachen, according to the Lottery.
Monday he posted “God Is Great!!” on his Facebook and followed that up with the video and that he couldn’t sleep and got up at 2 a.m. His Facebook also lists eight former jobs he’s worked.
But Ciociola wasn’t the only lucky First Coast resident. The Lottery also announced that 59-year-old Alvin Marvin of Atlantic Beach claimed the $1.4 million Lucky Money jackpot from the March 13 drawing. He chose to receive his winnings as a lump-sum payment of $1,003,263.
Marvin bought his winning ticket at the Neptune Beach Publix at 630 Atlantic Blvd. Lucky Money jackpots start at $500,000. Tickets are $1 each, and drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays.
