A $20 scratch-off changes the life of a Florida man who took home no less than a million dollars.
A Jacksonville resident has seen his life completely changed after winning $1 million with a Florida Lottery scratch-off ticket.
The lucky winner, Charles Dennison, 59, purchased his ticket at a Winn-Dixie supermarket on Roosevelt Boulevard in Jacksonville, and it was thanks to this that he won the grand prize of the Gold Rush Legacy game.
The store where the ticket was purchased was also awarded, receiving a $2,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket. Dennison decided to receive the prize in a single payment of $640,000, according to the official statement issued on October 16, 2024.
The Gold Rush Legacy game, which was released in April this year, has attracted many players with the promise of big prizes. According to the Lottery website, the odds of winning Dennison’s prize were one in 3,008,565.

This type of news reflects how, sometimes, a simple scratch-off ticket can change a person’s life in an instant. For Dennison, this victory will surely mark a before and after in his life, giving him the opportunity to enjoy new economic stability.
