Florida Woman Wins $1 Million From Scratch-Off Bought At Publix
A Florida woman wins $1 million from a lottery scratch-off ticket. The woman is only 22-years-old and won from a $50 ticket. Salma Fajardo bought the winning 500X THE CASH scratch-off from a Publix. The Publix is located at 6700 Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers. Yes, she chose the one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.
The Publix that sold the winning ticket received $2,000 for selling the ticket. She didn’t win the top prize for the game. The 500X THE CASH scratch-off has a top prize of $25 million.
Even though a Florida woman wins $1 million from that game there is even more money to be won from it.

These Are The Best Publix Stores In The Clearwater Area
We all know which grocery store is Florida’s favorite, there really is no comparison to Publix. No body can really compete with the buy one, get one deals and the Pub Subs. But did you know people have a preference over certain Publix stores? We would never think to leave a review of a grocery store but apparently it’s pretty common. We recently ranked the best Tampa Publix locations to see which one would end up on top. Now everyone is asking how their favorite store in the Pinellas/Clearwater area ranks. Here’s what we found.
So we say we “ranked” these stores but really, there is no BAD Publix location. Almost every store has a 4.4 star rating or better. Odds are no matter where you shop, you’re bound to have a pleasant experience. However, it’s not uncommon to go out of your way for your “better” Publix rather than what’s closer. Some people do this just because they like the layout of the store more, or because some deli’s and bakery’s just have that special touch. One common complaint you hear from someone who’s not visiting their normal Publix is that they have no idea where anything is. Every Publix has a different layout, so when you visit one that’s not your usual, it’s almost like stepping into another world.
How We Created The Publix Rankings.
According to the Publix website, there’s over 20 Publix stores in and very near the Clearwater area. This includes other locations like Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, Largo and a couple St. Pete locations. If we ranked every Publix store in Pinellas county, we would be here for a VERY long time. So we only included the top 20 on Publix’s website. Then we went to Google reviews to see how many that store has and what people were saying. If you usually go to the Publix off Gulf to Bay, then you’re not going to go out of your way to Palm Harbor just because of a couple opinions. But if there is one in your area with a higher ranking, then maybe you can try it out!
