BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — A Brooksville woman just became a millionaire after buying a $10 scratch-off ticket at a local gas station.
The Florida Lottery said Ruth Cain, 53, won the $2 million top prize while playing the Triple Jackpot Scratch-Off game. She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time payment of $1,209,700 at the lottery's Tallahassee headquarters.
Cain purchased her winning ticket from RaceTrac, located at 30480 Cortez Boulevard in Brooksville.
The gas station chain received a $4,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
