PORT CHARLOTTE
A Port Charlotte man has won $15 million from a scratch-off game.
Adam Charlton, 48, chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $13,200,000, according to a press release from the Florida Lottery.
Charlton purchased the winning ticket from Publix, at 3941 Tamiami Trail in Punta Gorda. The retailer will receive a $30,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
