Escambia Man Wins $1 Million In Lottery Scratch-Off Game

The Florida Lottery announced Monday morning that Granville Adams, Sr., 59, of Pensacola, claimed a $1 million prize in the $10,000,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.

Adams chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $802,814.40. He purchased his winning ticket from A Food Store, located at 11 West Burgess Road in Pensacola. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.

Adams says that he has been a loyal Florida Lottery player since 1988. He and his wife are both retired from the United States Navy and consider this big win a great blessing that will allow them to enjoy their retirement and help their family prepare for the future.

The $25 game, $10,000,000 FLORIDA CASH, features more than 11 million winning tickets and more than $624 million in total cash prizes. The game’s overall odds of winning are one-in-2.88.
