MIAMI MAN CLAIMS $650,000 MEGA MONEY™ JACKPOT

TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Lottery today announced that Pedro Reyes, of Miami, claimed the November 3, $650,000 MEGA MONEY™ jackpot.

Reyes chose the one-time, lump-sum payment option for his winnings in the amount of $462,104.50. The winning MEGA MONEY ticket was purchased at Tom Thumb, located at 5690 Maloney Avenue in Stock Island. The retailer received a bonus incentive of $1,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

The winning numbers were:

10 - 16 - 22 - 34 and the MEGABALL® was 08

The Florida Lottery's MEGA MONEY game includes the following features:

• Top prizes starting at $500,000 increasing to $2 million.
• A free ticket for matching just the MEGABALL.
• Advance Play for up to 30 drawings.

Total ticket sales for this jackpot generated more than $630,000 for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF). Since 1988, the Florida Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to the EETF, benefiting our students and schools, as well as funding more than one million Bright Futures scholarships. By a two-to-one margin, Florida voters in 1986 approved a constitutional amendment authorizing the state to operate a lottery for the purpose of generating significant additional moneys for education.

The next MEGA MONEY drawing will be held tonight at 11:15 p.m. ET with a $500,000 jackpot. Webcasts of Florida Lottery drawings are available on the Lottery's Web site at flalottery.com.
