9 Florida Publix Stores That Have Sold Top Winning Lottery Prizes

Who couldn’t use an extra million dollars these days? It’s a running joke that Florida has some of the best odds when it comes to playing the lottery. It goes even further when you realize how many Publix stores sell top-winning lottery prizes. Obviously, it couldn’t be any more than a coincidence but we decided to deep-dive into some of the top winning prizes sold in Publix stores. A few are even in the Tampa Bay area!

A lot of games in this list still have top prizes available! So if you’re feeling lucky head to your nearest Publix to grab a ticket. It’s important to know all the scratch-off games that have top prizes available. That way you won’t waste your money or time. You can always check on the Florida Lottery website.

With any lottery win, the store that sells the winning ticket receives a bonus. We can only imagine how much Publix has been rewarded over the years. Other common stores that we noticed sell a lot of winning tickets are 7-Eleven, Circle K, and Winn Dixie. Maybe spread your luck and buy a ticket from each store.

It’s been said by experts that if you win the lottery keep your mouth shut. This depends on how much money you end up winning. But if you’re lucky enough to win a top prize, it’s recommended to surround yourself with lawyers and financial advisors. If you’re quick to broadcast your winnings, you could put your life in danger.

What would you spend your winnings on if you ever won a top prize? We bet a lot of people would pay off their debt or credit card bills. We wouldn’t recommend blowing it on an expensive car or fancy house, because eventually the money will run out and you’ll be stuck paying way more in taxes/maintenance.
