December 27, 2011
The Florida Lottery announced today that Richard McMullen, 54, of Tallahassee, claimed the $50 million FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot prize from the drawing held on December 24, 2011.
Saturday night's FLORIDA LOTTO winner is not the only one celebrating! Saturday's LOTTO drawing produced the 1,000th jackpot-winning ticket since the game's inception in April 1988, resulting in a bonus commission of $150,000 for the retailer that sold the winning ticket.
"We are very excited to be celebrating our 1,000th jackpot winning ticket. This is not only a win for the lucky FLORIDA LOTTO player, but also for the retailer that sold the winning ticket." said Florida Lottery Secretary Cynthia O' Connell.
The winning numbers were 2-11-15-19-24-26 and the XTRA multiplier was 5. The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K, located at 1848 Capital Circle N.E. in Tallahassee.
According to McMullen, he has been playing the same six LOTTO numbers for more than 10 years. It has always been understood that any jackpot winnings would be shared among the family. "This is definitely our most memorable Christmas ever," said McMullen.
