While 'Florida Man' is battling gators, 'Florida Woman' is winning the lotto.
Florida Woman Wins $2 Million Twice on the Same Day in Mega Millions Lottery A woman in Florida has become a multi-millionaire after claiming two winning lottery tickets on the same day earlier this month.
A woman claimed two $2 million Mega Millions lottery tickets in Florida earlier this month.
The Florida Lottery announced the player's win in a news release issued earlier this week. The release identified the winner as Susan Fitton, a 64-year-old woman from Boca Raton in southeastern Florida.
Fitton purchased two $2 million Mega Millions with Megaplier tickets at a Prip Mart in Boca Raton, according to the Florida Lottery. She later claimed the tickets after a drawing at the West Palm Beach District Office on September 14.
According to the release, Fitton's tickets "matched all five of the white ball numbers but did not match the Mega Ball."
However, the tickets' Megaplier features did help to increase Fitton's winnings, Florida Lottery communications manager Meredyth Hope Norman told The Miami Herald. The feature can result in a ticket's earnings being multiplied as much as five times.
"The Megaplier number for the September 14 drawing was 2, which doubled Fitton's prize from $1 million to $2 million," Norman told the paper. "But she bought two tickets with the same numbers, so that became $4 million."
Fitton spent a total of $18 to purchase the two winning tickets, the paper reported.............
