Oscar Mendoza of Sanford tried his luck on a $10 scratch-off and won a $1 million top prize, his second big lottery win.
Mendoza previously won $100,000 on a $100,000 Cash Payday scratch-off in May.
His $1 million win came on a Jumbo Bucks ticket from the Circle K on South Horner Boulevard in Sanford.
When Mendoza arrived at lottery headquarters Friday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $432,063.
The Jumbo Bucks game debuted in June with five top prizes of $1 million. Three $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
