Dawn Cutaro, 68, of Boca Raton, claimed a $500,000 prize in the Gold Rush Tripler Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee.

Cutaro purchased her winning ticket at Palm Food Store, located at 17851 NW 78th Avenue in Hialeah. She says she always purchases her tickets from Palm Food Store, and believes it to be a lucky store. The retailer has previously sold a number of winning tickets including a Fantasy 5 top prize-winning ticket worth more than $46,000, and three $10,000 winning Scratch-Off tickets.

The $20 Scratch-Off game is the latest installment of the player favorite, Gold Rush Scratch-Off games.
