Florida man wins $10 million with scratch-off game from 7-Eleven
A Miami-Dade man scratched a ticket and scored a $10 million jackpot, according to a May 16 release from the Florida Lottery. Enrique Albo, 57, of Hialeah, bought a $20 Gold Rush legacy scratch-off game in January from a 7-Eleven at 7520 N.W. 186th Street. He chose to take his winnings in a lump-sum payment of $6,030,000. That leaves two of the four $10 million jackpots in this game still available. An Alabama woman, Jessica Ann Callihan, won the first in August 2024 with a ticket she bought in Pensacola, according to Florida Lottery data. The 7-Eleven received a $20,000 bonus commission for selling it. The $20 scratch-off game Gold Rush Legacy features four top prizes of $10 million and 20 prizes of $1 million, the Florida Lottery said. The game's overall odds of winning are 1-in-2.97. According to lottery data, 10 people have won $1 million in this game since 2024. The most recent one announced was Douglas Marbry, who bought his ticket at a Melbourne Circle K in April. The odds of winning $1 million in the game are 1 in 3,008,565. The odds of winning the $5 million are 1 in 15,042,825. Meanwhile, no one won the Mega Millions Friday night and the estimated jackpot for Tuesday's drawing is $139 million. The Powerball lottery jackpot also rolled over and is now an estimated $134 million for Monday's drawing. Depends on what you're looking for. The scratch-off game with the best odds of winning something may be Gold Rush Limited, where you have a 1-in-2.65 chance of winning something, according to lottery officials. The game with the biggest single payment jackpot remaining is the $50 500X the Cash, which has one $25 million jackpots still in play (odds of winning, 1-in-21,920,355). The two $25 million jackpots from $25,000,000 Gold Rush Multiplier have been claimed. Next would be the $30 300X the Cash, which has two $15 million jackpots left. You've got a 1-in-11,701,050 shot at one of those. For potentially the most total cash, depending on your likely lifespan, spending $50 for a chance at $1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular (minimum $25 million) is the biggest value. Both of those jackpots are still up for grabs, with odds of 1-in-21,727,995. Lottery games are games of chance played for fun, but some people may have problems with these sorts of games. According to the Florida Lottery: Don't think of the lottery as a way to make money Only play with money you can afford to lose (the odds are very, very good that you will) Set a dollar limit and stick to it Know the odds before you play Never chase your losses Never borrow money to play the lottery Don't play when you're upset or depressed Know when to ask for help: The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling, National Problem Gambling Helpline, Gamblers Anonymous This article originally appeared on Palm Beach Post: Florida Lottery win: $10 million claimed in Gold Rush scratch-off
