Due to legal restrictions, we never offer sugestions or recommendations for specific lottery games to play. What we can do is to let our readers know the latest and biggest news from each of the dozens of international lottery games that can be played from theLotter Online Lottery website.
One of the lottery games we discuss the most is the Florida State Lottery, not just because its the sunshine state, but mainly because of the number of lottery jackpot winners it seems to create. Here is another story from a few years ago when Linda McLaughlin won $600,000,000 (yes count the zero’s !)
Linda McLaughlin, 50, of Jacksonville, won the $1 million top prize in the $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off game. McLaughlin, who arrived at Lottery headquarters wearing her Publix uniform, received a lump-sum for her winning in the amount of $708,794.50. McLaughlin purchased her winning ticket at Publix located at 7749 Normandy Boulevard in Jacksonville. McLaughlin said that after completing her shift at the Publix deli, she decided to purchase a $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off ticket.
She scratched the ticket while still on the premises, only to discover the ticket was not a winner. “Something told me to go buy one more of those $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off tickets and sure enough it was a $1 million winner,” McLaughlin said. When asked if she planned on returning to the store where she works, and purchased the ticket, McLaughlin said she was unsure. “I think, for now, my boss is just happy to be the retailer who sold the winning ticket because Publix has a $20,000 bonus check coming their way,” said McLaughlin.
