Congrats! Florida has a new $1 million lottery winner. Racquel Maxey from Kissimmee turned her $5 into $1 million by playing the Gold Rush Doubler scratch off game. The Florida Lottery confirmed her win earlier this week. Even though we've told you that Publix might be the luckiest place to buy your lotto ticket, Maxey bought hers at a 7-Eleven in Kissimmee.
Maxey decided to go with the lump sum payment of $685,000. We think this is the smart move as you never know what could happen tomorrow! We'd rather take the money and run than get a weekly payment. The 7-Eleven store will also benefit from this win. They will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling her the winning ticket.
There's still plenty of money left to be won. According to the Florida Lottery’s website, there are 20 $1 million prizes remaining. You can also download the Florida Lottery app. It tells you how many top prizes have been won and what's left!
Florida Lottery Scratch Off Tickets You Might Want To Avoid
We've always envisioned winning the lottery and dreamed about how we would spend the lump sum. We want to make sure you purchase the right lottery ticket so you have a bigger chance to win! You might wonder why you haven't been winning on your favorite scratch off lottery ticket lately and we now know why. The Florida Lottery keeps track all of the winners and tickets on their website. Shockingly, of the 8–5 million dollar range winning tickets, 7 of them were already gone. That being said, we want to make sure you pick a ticket that has better odds to win.
Most scratch off tickets are usually impulse buys, depending how they look or where they're placed but it's smarter to make it a financial decision. We're not telling you which ticket to pick just giving you information about which tickets are still available to win and how much. Also, just because a ticket only has one big winner left doesn’t mean you won't win.
A good example of this is the $50 – 500X! With this ticket there’s two $25 million dollar grand prize tickets and one has been claimed by a person from Bonita Springs, Florida. That means there’s one more out there! So with the help of the Florida Lottery website, we can go through most scratch off tickets, what's still left to win and what's already gone.
Double Your Money
Although we aren't' experts when it comes to scratch off tickets this is some info the Double Your Money ticket. Apparently, it's $5 and normally you could win $500,000 but unfortunately you won’t because they're all gone.

$50,000 Diamond Mine
Great news about the $50,000 Diamond Mine is that the tickets are only $2!!! But the sad thing is all of the 12 big winning tickets are completely gone.
Billion Dollar Gold Rush Supreme
This ticket going to cost you a lot of money so make sure to pick it wisely! It normally costs $30 but the Florida Lottery says all of the 4 grand prize winners of $15 million have already been claimed. And if they're all claimed that means you might want to skip it!
Big Ol' Bens
We can definitely afford a $5 ticket so this ticket makes the decision a little easier but there's one $500,000 prize remaining. But you might want to purchase it since it's still out there floating around!

50X The Cash
Another affordable ticket at only $5 and with a $1 million jackpot it sounds perfect! Sadly, it's not at all because all of those tickets are completely gone.
500X The Cash
For us spending $50 on a scratch off is a big deal. Most of the time we'd rather just save that money since it's so pricey. They cost about $50 and with this one there's one big ticket still out there for $25 million so it might be worth it to purchase. Plus 19 of the 160 $1 million dollar prizes are still available so go ahead and try one if you want.

Full Of $200s
Anything for $2 can't be wrong right? Well, this $2 ticket sounds perfect but isn't... There's only 1 of the 12 big winners are left. So if you want to play there's still a chance to win but it there's a smaller chance.
$2 Monopoly Doubler
It's a good deal at $2!!! Almost anyone can afford a $2 lottery ticket especially when there's a chance you could win $100,000. Sadly, 7 of the 8 $100,000 winning tickets are already claimed.
Win It All
We love a good $5 ticket! Although we would still play this game the chances of you winning are slim. With a $500,000 grand prize 7 of the 8 have already claimed. So go ahead and try it since there's still winners out there.
Money Money Money
This $2 ticket isn't looking too good. Although the price of the ticket sounds amazing and you could get a $50,000 grand prize unfortunately 15 of the 16 are already gone.
$500 A Week For Life
Only $1! That's an exciting ticket price but there's only 1 big winner left. So we would still play this game even though your chances are slim.
5X Bingo
There's not many of these left so make sure you get on it and grab one while you can! This ticket is $3 and could get you $100,000 but 11 of the 12 big ones are claimed.
Payout Tripler
Although this ticket is only $2 with a $50,000 grand prize. 9 of the 10 are claimed so your chances of winning aren't too bad. You might want to go for it.
