According to the Florida Lottery, Hall bought the winning ticket from the Circle K convenience store on State Road 20 in Interlachen. Good for the store, too -- they'll collect a $4,000 commission.

Scratch-off tickets generated more than $784 million for the state's Educational Enhancement Trust Fund last year, making up roughly 68 percent of overall ticket sales.
