An Alabama man just got rich in Florida, thanks to a lottery ticket sold at a Panhandle gas station. Jeremy Smith, 49, of Lillian, Alabama, was just on the other side of Pensacola Bay when he stopped at the CEFCO Convenience Store in Gulf Breeze and paid $10 for a Triple 777 ticket.

A man was joking with his coworkers about winning the lottery when they went out to lunch, and he bought four tickets in Virginia. He hit the jackpot. George Hurt won the final top prize of $1 million in the Virginia Millions scratch-off game, the Virginia Lottery said in an Oct. 22 news release.

A stop at a Florida gas station led a lottery player to a six-figure prize. Someone won $108,384.37 after matching all five numbers in the Fantasy 5 evening drawing on Tuesday, Oct. 22, according to the Florida Lottery. The lucky ticket was sold at a Mobil station in Sarasota, officials said.
