Women gets garnished lottery winnings
Two weeks ago, FOX 35 aired a story of a woman who won the lottery but couldn't claim her winnings because the state said she owes money. She won back in June, but just this week she finally received a check for the full $2,900 and a letter saying she owes nothing.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - A woman from Kissimmee turned a $20 gas station trip into a whopping $5 million lottery win after claiming a winning scratch-off ticket over the weekend.
Janice Velez claimed a top prize in the $5,000,000 Cashword scratch-off game, the Florida Lottery announced Friday. The 60-year-old woman purchased the winning ticket from RaceTrac at 4541 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee.
