The Florida Lottery said Friday that 35-year-old Antonio Edmunds went to Tallahassee to claim his prize.
The TRIPLE JACKPOT ticket only cost him $10 when he bought it at the A1A Food Store.
Edmonds chose to receive his money as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,209,700.
The ticket is one of four of the $2 million top prizes, but there are several other lesser-valued prizes available.
The game’s overall odds of winning are 1-in-3.49, according to the Florida Lottery.
Another local man was announced to have won $1 million in the lottery just yesterday.
