Lottery ticket worth $1,000 a day for life sold at Florida Publix. Here’s where

A Florida lottery player is holding a ticket that pays $1,000 a day for life.

The winning CASH4LIFE ticket was sold at a Publix at the Center of St. Cloud shopping center, according to the Florida Lottery.

The winner defied the 1-in-21,846,048 odds of matching all five numbers, which range from 1 to 60, as well as the cash ball.

The CASH4LIFE top prize is paid out in either yearly installments of $365,000 or a one-time lump sum of $7 million, according to lottery officials.

The ticket buyer chose their own numbers for the Aug. 5 drawing, records show.

The winning numbers were 8-25-33-38-46 and a cash ball of 2.

A ticket sold in New Jersey won a $1,000 a week prize in the same drawing, according to a news release from the Florida Lottery.

St. Cloud is in Osceola County and is roughly a 25-mile drive south from downtown Orlando.

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