Cantonment Man Wins $1 Million On Lottery Scratch-Off Game
March 9, 2022
A Cantonment man has claimed a $1 million scratch-off Florida Lottery prize.
Ryan Martin, 27, claimed the $1 million prize from the new 500X The Cash scratch-off game at Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.
“After winning on a few tickets last week, I decided to pick up another one on my way home from work,” Martin said. “I was in total shock when I saw that I had won $1 million and immediately called my wife to tell her the good news!”
Martin purchased his winning ticket from Nine Mile Raceway, located at 701 West Nine Mile Road. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
The $50 game features a $25 million top prize.

To Mr. Martin and his wife. CONGRATULAIONS. You have an opportunity not many have. Get ahead financially in life. Don’t blow it. Your young, keep working hard, invest it and it will pay off later in the years.
I didn’t win the lottery, but I worked hard for 42 years and lived within my means and am ok financially
Just my 2 cents.
To those believing the amount stated is Post taxes you dont know how the lotto works.
Lump sum is a % of total. If you took the long term payout which is normally 20 years they pay the full, but most dont do that so they reduce the payout .
That’s not the taxes being withheld. That’s the lump sum payout. The 1 million payout is over 20 years. The lump some payout is less. Taxes will take another 100-200k.
Congratulations Ryan. You deserve it. We are happy for you and your family.
@Bill, that’s probably taxes withheld.
Congrats man, from your long lost, broke, cousin…
That is so awesome for the young couple. Paid off house, vehicles and paid gas card for a week! Just kidding. Congratulations!!
@Bill.. I’m sure you know that that is the taxes being pulled out…I would do the same thing.. congrats to Ryan for winning!
Congrats! $820,000.00 is a nice payday!
Wait till the IRS gets their cut Bill.
The lump sum is $180,000 light? That’s quite a penalty for collecting the payment they advertise.
