  • Boyer opted to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $798,985.00. He claimed his prize at the Florida Lottery’s Pensacola District Office.

The winning ticket was purchased from Raceway, located at 1183 North Eglin Parkway in Shalimar. As a result of selling the winning ticket, the retailer received a $2,000 bonus commission.
