Lottery scratchcard games are popular with all players as they often give the best chances of getting a win. However, many lottery players feel they are not likely to win more than a few thousand on these. A Florida Lottery scratchcard $3 million winner is evidence that this is not always the case and now that we are seeing many of these types of games increasing their top prizes, we are likely to see many more wins like this. This Florida Lottery scratchcard winner has been named as Jody Massengale and is the manager of Mellow Mushroom Pizza on Panama City Beach.
