A lottery player has something big to celebrate after hitting the jackpot in Florida.
The person tried their luck on the Florida Lotto game and bought a ticket worth $2 million. The ticket won by matching all six numbers picked in the April 24 drawing, results show.
The winning numbers: 20-31-35-38-39-43.
So, where was the lucky ticket sold? The ticket came from a Publix grocery store on Taylor Road in Port Orange, near Daytona Beach. At the supermarket, the player selected the quick pick option, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of their ticket numbers, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.
