The Person Who Won $1.6B In Florida Has Come Forward
The Person who won $1.6B In Florida has come forward! Im glad they did because time was running out. Sadly that Mega Millions ticket was not sold in St. Petersburg, but the jackpot-winning ticket was sold at a Publix in Neptune Beach on August 8th.
The winning numbers for the record-breaking drawing were 13, 19, 20, 32, and 33, and Mega Ball 14. The Megaplier was 2X. I am so happy for this person, but I wish it was me. Did you play in this particular drawing. Were you also checking your ticket to make sure that you were not the one to win in Florida?
Last week, I had wrote an article about how the person had not come forward yet! We were hoping that the person did not lose or throw the ticket away. Turns out they didn’t, they were just probably getting their affairs in order! Lawyer, moving, taking kids out of school etc. It’s a life changing amount of money and in Florida everyone will know who you are if you win, so at least I thought.
Who Won The $1.6B?
Even though the person has come forward, we don’t know exactly who. According to the Florida Lottery, the winner of the $1.6B jackpot is “EXEMPT PURSUANT TO F.S. 24.1051.” Basically that means that the winners name was made confidential under the states law.
The Florida Lottery may release the name of the jackpot winner on Dec 25th of this year. According to the Florida law, the winners name is no longer exempt or confidential after 90 days! By that time that person will be far away from Florida, if not already.
The winner claimed the cash option of $783,300,000. The Publix received a $100,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.

Here Are The Florida Lottery Scratch-Off Tickets You Should Avoid
I do like playing the Florida Lottery. Specifically the Florida Lottery scratch-off tickets! Yes, I barely win any money but I like the feeling you get when wondering If you’re going to win big. I live in St. Petersburg and I love reading about people winning on scratch-off tickets. If you want to be a big winner there are certain lottery scratch off tickets you should avoid.
Do you play the Florida lottery? If so which games do you like to play? I like to play the Gold Rush Limited and I am so happy that this scratch-off ticket did not make this list. The Gold Rush Limited still has a top prize remaining.
According to The Florida Lottery, there are some scratch-off tickets that don’t have any top prizes available. I don’t know about you, but I buy tickets hoping to win the top prize! If you want to avoid scratch off tickets without top prizes available, you have come to the right article.
What Is The Most Amount Of Money You Have Ever Won Playing The Florida Lottery?
I have never won a substantial amount of money, but enough to pay a phone bill. $100 is the most I’ve ever won while playing a Scratch-off ticket. I won the money by playing the 500X the cash game. By the way that scratch off ticket no longer has a top prize of $25M left.
Back in the day, I thought scratch off tickets had an unlimited amount of top winning prize tickets. I was very wrong about that, but Im glad I have this information now. I will not purchase tickets that have no top prize winning tickets available.
Below are the Florida Lottery tickets you should avoid. These particular scratch-off tickets, have no top prize winning tickets available. As always feel free to email me Babs@wild941.com
