The Florida Lottery said Isabelle Turner, 57, of Tampa, won the million after she played the $1,000,000 A Year for Life Spectacular Scratch-Off game.

Turner purchased the ticket from a Publix at 5801 Southwest 75th Street in Gainsville.

The lottery said that Turner will take her prize as a lump sum payment of $640,000.

Publix will get a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
