    A lucky lottery player won a life-changing prize from a scratch-off game in Florida, lottery officials said.

    Clifford Rogers of Orlando claimed a $1 million prize from the $1,000,000 A YEAR FOR LIFE SPECTACULAR Scratch-Off game, the Florida Lottery said in an Oct. 11 news release.

    The winning ticket came from a Circle K convenience store on South Ferncreek Avenue in Orlando, the release said.

    Rogers took his winnings home as a one-time lump-sum payment of $640,000. Officials said the Circle K location received a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

    The odds of winning a $1 million prize are 1 in 185,709. The game costs $50 to play.

    As of Oct. 15, one of two $1 million-per-year top prizes remain unclaimed and 87 of 234 $1 million prizes remain unclaimed, officials said.

    Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

    If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
