Two Tampa Bay Scratch-Off Winners Claim Their Prize…See How Much
Two Tampa Bay scratch-off winners have claimed their prize from the Florida Lottery. One scratch-off was bought in Tampa and the other was purchased in St. Pete.
Ramon Diaz Moreno claimed a $1 million prize from the 500X THE CASH scratch-off ticket he purchased in Tampa. Sheldon Jackson claimed a $1 million top prize playing the $5 Monopoly Doubler scratch-off game he bought in St. Pete.
Moreno purchased his ticket from Town & Country Beverage on Ambassador Drive in Tampa. Jackson bought his ticket from the DQ Food Mart located at 1730 4th Street South in St. Petersburg. The stores that sold the tickets will receive a $2,000 bonus commission.
So, two Tampa Bay scratch-off winners have claimed their prize, but there is still that Powerball jackpot. The Powerball jackpot is $1.2 Billion for Wednesday’s (November 2) drawing. You won’t get quite that much but if you are the only winner you will get around $453 million.
Top Things Floridians Fear
1. Broken A/C
There is nothing worse then getting into a car or walking into your home and there is no A/C. A broken A/C is the number one we fear in Florida.
2. Hurricanes
They are scary because they are so unpredictable. Just recently with Hurricane Ian, we all know to well that Hurricanes can cause major damage and so many lives lost due to the strength of the storms that come through.3. Gators
The one rule in Florida you need to follow, if you come across a body of water, including swimming pools, always assume there may be an alligator swimming or sunbathing nearby. Always.5. Sharks
Shark fin above ocean water
Pretty hard to go out in the boat or swim at the beach without at least “thinking” or looking for sharks. They are in our Gulf. From black-tipped sharks, to bonnet head sharks found in Tampa Bay, to bull sharks, hammerheads and whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico, it’s very possible you’ll see a fin in the surf here in Florida.
