An Alabama man won a $1 million Florida Lottery scratch-off prize after a stop at a Nine Mile Road Publix.

Earnest Dillard, age 47 of Mobile, claimed the $1 million prize in the 500x Cash Scratch-Off game at lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.

Dillard purchased his winning ticket from the Publix on Nine Mile Road at Pine Forest Road. The store will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the $50 winning ticket.

    I know it’s my fault, but I’ve spent $350 on this particular scratch
    off and won a total of $10.00 on 7 tickets. When you pay $50 for
    a ticket there should be AT LEAST SOME WINNINGS ON
    EVERY TICKET. RIP OFF WITH THIS ONE FOR SURE!!

    Yeah but it’s hard to eat a losing $50 dollar ticket.

    You can’t lose if you don’t play.

    Better than the Powerball odds, but still not an ideal retirement strategy.
