Ever dream about scratching off that winning ticket and hitting it big?
Well, for Jeremy Smith from Lillian, Alabama, that dream just became reality.
The Florida Lottery has announced that Smith, at 49, is now $2 million richer, thanks to a Triple 777 Scratch-Off game.
Not bad for a quick stop at the gas station, right?
What’s even better is that Smith opted for the lump-sum payment, pocketing a cool $1.28 million all at once.
Just imagine the kind of celebration that must have followed when he scratched that winning ticket!
The Lucky Convenience Store Stop
Here’s how it all went down: Smith bought his lucky ticket at a CEFCO Convenience Store on Gulf Breeze Parkway.
You know, one of those quick stops you make for snacks, gas, or maybe a spur-of-the-moment lottery ticket.
That ticket wasn’t just life-changing for Smith, though.
The store that sold the winning ticket got a little something too—a $4,000 bonus commission from the Florida Lottery.
