Cleveland Pope who lives in Brooksville Florida decided to go to a different side of town to buy a backpack for his daughter at the Beverage 50 store.
The funny thing is that Cleveland bought a Billion Dollar Gold Rush Supreme scratch off lottery ticket that had the top prize of $1 million dollars.
Cleveland decided to take the one time payment from the Florida Lottery which after taxes comes up to $880,000 dollars which I am sure that Cleveland will use to pay off his bills and save the money from his children's education.
The Florida Lottery officials will reward the Beverage 50 store a prize of $2,000 dollars for selling the winning lottery ticket.
I guess that Cleveland doing his daughter a favor by going away from his normal shopping routine was rewarded by winning the huge lottery prize.

They take too much away from the winnings.

@Deepizzaguy If you do lump sum do you get more than if you do it in installments?

@lovebuglena Not really since getting installment money means less of a tax bite since the money taxed is smaller.

I agree with you since being nice to his child, he was rewarded with a huge lottery win.

Cleveland will have enough money for his children's education and a lot more to spare.

He took a great risk but won quite a big sum. My father was in the habit of buying lottery tickets but never won any.
