During January, three individuals claimed seven-figure prizes.
Boca Raton Man Wins $2 Million
According to the Florida Lottery, one of the largest winners from January was Walkens Talabert, 56, of Boca Raton. He won a $2 million prize through the lottery’s Double Diamond Cashword scratch-off game and visited the lottery headquarters on January 5 to collect his winnings.
