Osmond, a Connecticut resident, gave up buying lottery tickets more than a decade ago after losing around $1 million on various games, be they scratch-offs or drawings. He told MarketWatch that his addiction cost him his business (he owned two gas stations), his home and nearly any semblance of a normal life.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Publix grocery store on Curry Ford Road in Orlando. The player opted for Quick Pick, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of their ticket numbers, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.

A North Carolina man thought his winning scratch-off ticket was a misprint, but he really did hit the jackpot, lottery officials said this week.
