A Florida man won a $2 million jackpot playing a lottery draw game.
The Florida Lottery recently announced that Benjamin Hall, of Winter Haven, claimed the $2 million jackpot from a Jackpot Triple Play drawing held earlier in the year.
The Central Florida man chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,212,677.60.
The Florida player purchased his jackpot-winning Jackpot Triple Play ticket from Vaishali, located at 4646 N. Combee Road in Lakeland.
He claimed his winning prize at Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
For $1, Jackpot Triple Play players get a triple chance to win the jackpot, as each ticket comes with three sets of numbers to match with the winning numbers drawn. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 46 for the first set, and the second set will be randomly Quick Picked.
Jackpots start at $250,000 and can roll over to reach $2 million before rolling down to increase the lower-prize levels in each drawing until the jackpot is won. Players win by matching three or more numbers from the same set to the winning numbers drawn. Players can get an extra chance to win by combining all matches on the ticket by adding Combo for $1 more.
Since inception of Jackpot Triple Play in 2019, the game has awarded more than $183.3 million in prizes, created 87 jackpot winners, and generated more than $137.4 million for the state’s Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF).
