Escambia County Woman Wins $1 Million Lottery Prize, Plans To Pay Off Her Mom’s House

April 7, 2022

An Escambia County woman has claimed a $1 million Florida Lottery scratch-off prize, and she says she plans to pay off her mother’s house.

Tenesia Hollins, 41, chose to receive her winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.

When asked what she plans to do with her winnings, Hollins said that the first thing she wants to do is pay off her mother’s house.

“She’s done so much for me growing up, this is the least I can do for her,” Hollins shared.

Hollins purchased her winning ticket from Winn Dixie on Bayou Boulevard in Pensacola. The store will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.

Hollins won on the new $50 game called “500X The Cash”, which offers a top prize of $25 million.

    Best thing to do is payoff all debt so lenders stop making money off the person. For the most part, we all owe our parents if they did what they could to raise you right. Glad to see this. This tells me she is especially deserving of the winnings as she thinks about her family 1st before her self. Clearly she is a good soul. Congrats!!

    Not a move I would make, plastering my face and name online, if I won a large amount of money.
