Woman denied lottery win over unemployment

A woman in Kissimmee won nearly $3,000 on a Florida lottery ticket only to learn the state would not pay her. She was told it was because she was overpaid in unemployment benefits during the pandemic.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - A lucky lottery player clinched a Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million during a stop at a 7-Eleven in Florida.

However, according to the Florida Lottery, a 7-Eleven convenience store at 24651 S Tamiami Trail in Bonita Springs sold a quick-pick ticket that matched only five of the numbers, resulting in a win of the $1 million second-tier prize.

The Mega Millions jackpot has since rolled over to $331 million, which has a cash option of $153.1 million.

The next drawing will be held on Friday, May 10, at 11 p.m.
