JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville woman won big after claiming a $1 million prize from the Florida Lottery.
Loretta Bolton won $1 million from the 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game. She cashed in on her winnings at the Lottery’s Jacksonville District Office. Bolton decided to receive her money as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.00.
The lucky winner purchased her ticket from AP Express, located at 3621 Park Street in Jacksonville. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
