FIRST $10 MILLION TOP PRIZE CLAIMED IN BILLION DOLLAR BLOCKBUSTER SCRATCH-OFF GAME
April 30, 2009
TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Lottery today announced that the Ressor Family Revocable Trust claimed the first $10 million top prize in the BILLION DOLLAR BLOCKBUSTER Scratch-Off game. Nine $10 million top prizes still remain to be won.
Vincent Grosser, of Leesburg, is the sole member of the trust. The Ressor Family Revocable Trust chose the annuity payment option for the winnings in the amount of $500,000 for the next 20 years. The winning ticket was purchased from Texaco Mini Mart, located at 3277 N. U.S. Highway 441/27 in Fruitland Park.
After purchasing the BILLION DOLLAR BLOCKBUSTER ticket, Grosser drove to work. He waited until he arrived before he began scratching the ticket in his truck. Upon discovering the ticket was a winner, he quickly asked his boss to take a second look and confirm. When asked what was going through his head at that moment, Grosser said his children and the future.
The new $20 Scratch-Off game, BILLION DOLLAR BLOCKBUSTER, offers the highest cash payout of any game in the Lottery's 21-year history. The game launched on February 24, and features more than $1 billion in prizes, including 10 instant-win prizes of $10 million. To date, the game has awarded more than $65.1 million in prizes. The overall odds of winning are 1-in-2.98. Tickets may be purchased at any of the more than 13,000 Florida Lottery retail locations statewide.
