Avery Leach, a 57-year-old man from Jacksonville, became $2 million richer after purchasing a winning Florida Lottery scratch-off ticket. Leach bagged the top prize from the $2,000,000 100X BONUS CASHWORD game, an astonishing feat given the 1-in-3,792,743 odds. According to First Coast News, Leach opted for a one-time lump-sum payment totaling $1,280,000.
With the golden ticket bought from Circle K at 8820 103rd Street in Jacksonville, the convenience store now sees a slight fortune themselves, earning a $4,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket, News4JAX reported. Introduced in December 2023, the $2,000,000 100X BONUS CASHWORD is a $10 scratch-off game comprising eight top prizes of $2 million and over 8.7 million winning tickets. Notably, players have the chance to multiply their prizes by up to 100 times.
The odds, indeed, were in Leach's favor challenging that the overall odds of winning anything in the game are standing at 1-in-3.37. Two more grand prizes are still in play within the 100X Cashword game as reported by the Miami Herald.
