In a streak of good fortune, a Winter Park man has recently carved his name among the lucky few to secure a seven-figure sum from a lottery scratch-off game. Preston Legge, having placed his bets on the Florida Lottery's “$1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular,” walked away with a cool $1 million prize, as detailed by WFTV. Forgoing the installment plan, Legge opted for a one-time, lump-sum payment, tallying up to $640,000.
The ticket, minted as a million-dollar winner, was sourced from an Orlando Walmart at 902 Lee Road, which, by the stroke of Legge's fortune, is now on the receiving end of a $2,000 bonus commission. In a statement obtained by CBS 12, the store that sold the winning ticket will receive a commission for the role it played in this turn of events.
For those enticed by the allure of quick wealth, the “$1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular” presents two top prizes that promise $1 million a year for life, along with 234 additional $1 million prizes. The game also dangles the prospect of winning a piece of an additional $1.6 billion in cash prizes, with overall odds of securing a win standing at 1-in-4.5, as detailed by WFTV.
