VALRICO, Fla. — After Pablo Herrera, 42, scratched off his lottery ticket, he was able to claim a top prize from Monopoly Secret Vault’s scratch-off game of $2 million, the Florida Lottery said in a press release.
Herrera claimed his prize on June 16 at the lottery’s district office in Tampa, according to the state organization. They also said Herrera chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,153,865.
The Hillsborough County man purchased his winning ticket earlier this year in an MM Food Mart, located on Highway 60 in Valrico.
According to Florida Lottery, the $10 Monopoly Secret Vault game launched in July 2024, and it includes four top prizes of $2 million.
“This game offers over $176 million in cash prizes, including 6.8 million winning tickets. The game’s overall odds are 1-in-3.41,” the press release said.
To promote responsible play, the state lottery website advises players to set a budget and stick to it, instead of viewing the games as means to make money, to avoid chasing loses and to never borrow money to play the lottery.
