HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla — A Hillsborough County woman won a $1 million prize after buying a scratch-off ticket.
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.
"There are no safeguards, and I feel like that's part of where the system failed"
Henry Betsey Jr. is facing charges for marrying three Florida women in three different counties at the same time. Now, those women are speaking out, saying the system that handles marriage licenses kept them in the dark.
