One lucky Jacksonville man turned $10 into a couple million by purchasing a scratch-off with The Florida Lottery.
The Florida Lottery says that Akram Awad, 42, claimed a $2 million top prize from the $2,000,000 CASHWORD Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee on Monday.
He chose to receive his winnings in annual installments of $80,000 a year for 25 years.
Awad purchased his winning ticket from In and Out, located at 2110 South Highway 17 in Crescent City. The retailer will receive a $4,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
