The Florida Lottery announced on Monday that Altovise Morris, 41, of Orlando, claimed two $1 million prizes from the 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game.
She received each of her winnings as one-time, lump-sum payments of $820,000.00.
In November 2022, Morris traveled to the Lottery Headquarters office to claim her first $1 million prize from the 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game. She told Lottery officials, “I’ll be back!”
Just as Morris predicted, she was back at Headquarters in January 2023 to claim her second $1 million prize from the 500X THE CASH Scratch-Off game.

She said her lucky win happened again right after she bought her dream home, adding to the serendipity of the situation. “After closing on my house, I stopped at a Sunoco Foodmart in Clermont, and it happened again. I still can’t believe this is happening!” Morris said.
Morris purchased her first winning ticket at 7-Eleven, located at 13698 West Colonial Drive in Winter Garden. Her second winning ticket was purchased at Sunoco Foodmart, located at 940 South U.S. Highway 27 in Clermont.
Each retailer has received a $2,000 bonus commission for selling a winning Scratch-Off ticket.
