Joseph Britenriker, 41, of St. Cloud, is the trustee. The SCB Revocable Trust chose the annuity payment option for the winnings in the amount of $83,000 for the next 30 years. The winning FLORIDA LOTTO ticket was purchased from Winn-Dixie, located at 3318 Canoe Creek Road in St. Cloud. The retailer received a bonus incentive of $7,500 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket. The drawing held on January 23 produced two jackpot winners. The other winning ticket was purchased in Ormond Beach. The winning numbers were: 37 - 39 - 42 - 47 - 49- 51 Total ticket sales for this jackpot generated approximately $2.76 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF).
