The gas station will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Wilson claimed his winnings at the Florida Lottery's headquarters in Tallahassee, taking his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000. The $5 Scratch-off game, THE PRICE IS RIGHT, launched in February and features eight top prizes of $1 million.
