Second lottery winner has money withheld
FOX 35 is continuing to hear from lottery winners who aren't able to claim their winnings. They're being told it's because they were overpaid in unemployment benefits during the pandemic.
SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla. - A woman recently claimed a lottery ticket worth $2 million that was purchased at a gas station in Volusia County, officials said.
Lavoncis Armstrong, 64, of Riverdale, Georgia, claimed the top prize from the Monopoly Doubler scratch-off game.
