A run-of-the-mill stop at an Orlando RaceTrac turned into a life-changing moment for 59-year-old Rafael Antonio Arciniegas Rosario. He picked up a $20 GOLD RUSH LEGACY scratch-off at the RaceTrac on Conway Road and later claimed a $1 million prize, opting for a one-time $640,000 lump-sum payout when he finalized his claim at Florida Lottery headquarters on December 10, 2025. His ticket was one of the Gold Rush Legacy game’s printed million-dollar winners.
The Florida Lottery's winning-ticket report, last queried March 14, 2026, lists Arciniegas Rosario’s claim and identifies the retailer as RaceTrac #2541 at 6803 Conway Road in Orlando. The report notes that he chose the cash option and received the single payment at the Lottery’s Tallahassee office, according to the Florida Lottery winning-ticket report.
Local coverage by the Tampa Free Press, published today, adds that Arciniegas Rosario lives in Kissimmee and confirms that the winning ticket cost $20. The outlet casts his score as one more hefty payday from the Lottery’s Gold Rush line of scratch-offs.
Gold Rush Legacy at a glance
The Gold Rush Legacy $20 scratch-off launched in April 2024 and offers four $10 million top prizes and 20 prizes of $1 million, with overall odds of about 1 in 2.97, according to reporting on the game’s rollout.

Scratch-offs still drive Lottery sales
Scratch-off tickets remain the workhorse of the Florida Lottery. The agency's 2025 annual report shows that scratch-offs made up roughly 70% of ticket sales in fiscal year 2024-25, with the Lottery recording about $9.13 billion in sales that year and contributing around $2.16 billion to education. Since its inception, the Lottery has transferred more than $48 billion to education, according to the Florida Lottery annual report.
Arciniegas Rosario’s win is a reminder that an ordinary convenience-store run can end with an extraordinary payout, and that the Gold Rush family of games continues to produce headline-ready jackpots. Florida Lottery records show he has already claimed his prize and locked in the cash option.
