An out-of-state visitor recently claimed a $1 million Powerball prize in Florida.
The Florida Lottery announced that Floyd Horner, Jr., of Tega Cay, South Carolina, claimed a $1 million prize from the Powerball drawing held on February 1, 2023, at the Lottery’s Tampa District Office.
The winning Powerball ticket matched all five white ball numbers but did not match the Power Ball number.
Horner purchased his $1 million-winning Powerball ticket from RaceTrac, located at 24224 US Highway 27 in Lake Wales. The retailer received a $1,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
The next Powerball drawing will be held Wednesday at 10:59pm ET, with an estimated $20 million jackpot.
