Polk County man claims $2M lottery jackpot with lump sum payout

Orlando, FL — A Florida lottery drawing delivered a multi-million-dollar prize after a Polk County man stepped forward to claim a $2M jackpot from a ticket purchased earlier this year.

Benjamin Hall of Winter Haven claimed the top prize from the January 16 JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY drawing. He chose a one-time lump sum payment of $1,212,677.60 instead of annuity payments.

The winning ticket was purchased at Vaishali, located on North Combee Road in Lakeland.

JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY tickets cost $1 and include three sets of numbers, giving players multiple chances to match winning numbers in each drawing.

Lottery officials said jackpots in the game begin at $250,000 and can grow to $2M before rolling down if not won.

The Florida Lottery reported the game has awarded millions in prizes since its launch and continues to generate funds for education programs across the state.
