CLEARWATER, Fla — A Clearwater woman won a $1 million prize from a scratch-off game.
According to the Florida Lottery, Shawandra Nichols, 48, won the $1 million prize by playing the $1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular Scratch-Off game. She bought the ticket from a Walmart at 1803 North Highland Avenue in Clearwater.
Nichols will receive a lump sum payment of $640,000.
The lottery said Walmart will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
