Polk County Woman Buys Florida Lottery Ticket At Publix, Wins $1 Million
It shouldn’t matter where a ticket is purchased, but Publix seems to sell a lot of them, and therefore a lot of winners. One sold in Mulberry created another Florida Lottery millionaire.
It shouldn't matter where a ticket is purchased, but Publix seems to sell a lot of them, and therefore a lot of winners. One sold in Mulberry created another Florida Lottery millionaire.
46-year-old Allison Greschuk of Lakeland purchased her ticket at Publix. She bought a '500X The Cash' scratch-off ticket and revealed a $1 million winner. '500X The Cash' is a $50 game that features a top prize of $25 million.
She claimed her winnings at the Lottery's Tampa District Office as a lump sum of $820,000. The Publix store, located at 2040 Shepherd Road in Mulberry, will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
One of '500X The Cash' $25 million top prizes was found, but there's still another one waiting to be scratched. There are, however, 114 of 160 $1 million prizes still available to be won. Not to shabby, if you have the $50 to lay down on a lottery ticket.
Here's what Allison Greschuk's winning ticket looks like.

Station House BBQ is just down the road from home, so it's natural that I'm going to have some favorites! Here's what I choose from when I have that BBQ craving.
The restaurant is on Florida Avenue in Lutz. Opened by Anthony and Allison Fonseca, it's quickly become one of the most loved bbq restaurants in the area. Anthony, a firefighter and Allison, a teacher, joined up with Joshua Paul and turned their side-business into a success. They also give back to their community, especially for first responders.
They were also featured on Good Morning America. That's some nice national exposure, but we have them all to ourselves in the Tampa area!
Now, back to the food. Here are my five favorite items from Station House BBQ:
The Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese
The Classic Pork Sandwich
The Station 40
This is a tasty combination of flavors. The Station 40 is made up of pulled pork and chopped brisket... then, add the "Not Yo' Mama's slaw," smoked gouda cheese sauce, bacon, jam and their special Station 40 sauce and served on a toasted kaiser bun.
Rack of Ribs
There's no going wrong with another bbq standard: a rack of ribs!
Okay, time for dessert... Peach Cobbler!
Said it earlier... BBQ Ribs!
There just can't be enough ribs!
There are still a few other items on the menu that can't be forgotten
-Loaded Tots
-If you like sausage, the 'Hog Tower'
-If you like spicy foods, the 'Tampa Hot' chicken sandwich
It's always tough for me to decide!
