Two Central Florida Men Become Millionaires from the Same Lottery Game
In a remarkable stroke of luck, two men from Central Florida have each won a million dollars playing the same lottery scratch-off game. The winners, identified as James Guillory of Kissimmee and Robert Stiller of Melbourne, both struck it rich with the Florida Lottery's 500X The Cash scratch-off game.
James Guillory claimed his prize at the Florida Lottery's headquarters in Tallahassee, opting for a one-time, lump-sum payment of $820,000.00. Similarly, Robert Stiller chose the lump-sum option, receiving $820,000.00. Both winners expressed their excitement and disbelief at their sudden windfalls.
The 500X The Cash game, which launched in February 2023, offers players the chance to multiply their winnings up to 500 times. With a top prize of $25 million, it's no surprise that the game has been a hit among lottery enthusiasts. The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 4.5 million, making Guillory and Stiller's wins even more extraordinary.
The Florida Lottery, established in 1988, has contributed over $44 billion to education and sent more than 950,000 students to college through the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. These recent wins add to the long list of success stories that continue to inspire hope and dreams of big wins among players across the state.
