Lottery ticket worth $1 million sold at Florida grocery store. Here's where
A woman decided to buy a lottery ticket during a run to a Florida grocery store — and received a life-changing windfall. Patricia Ryan won a $1 million prize in the $1,000,000 A Year For Life Spectacular game, the Florida Lottery announced July 9. She bought her lucky ticket at a Winn-Dixie store at 4870 North Kings Highway in Fort Pierce. The Vero Beach woman turned her $50 ticket into a second-tier prize in the scratch-off game that's been running since February 2023, beating the 1-in-185,709 odds to win $1 million, lottery records show. Ryan made the trip up to Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee to claim her prize as a $640,000 lump sum, according to lottery officials. Fort Pierce is the seat of St. Lucie County, about a 70-mile drive north from West Palm Beach.

Changing Crescent City Winn-Dixie to Aldi could spark food desert, cost dozens of jobs, mayor says
A small town in Putnam County is on the verge of losing its only full-service grocery store. Winn-Dixie has served Crescent City for nearly three decades — since 1997 — but now, it's on a list of 170 locations being converted into Aldi outlets. Mayor Michele Myers and the City Commission this week presented a resolution last Tuesday urging Southeast Grocers and Aldi to reconsider, saying that the closure would threaten more than 80 local jobs and risk turning Crescent City into a food desert. 'Without a full-service grocer, families here would be forced into 40-mile round trips just to buy produce and staples,' Myers said. 'We have smaller local stores, but they can't replace fresh food or the jobs this store provides.' [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Steve Cummings, dean at Crescent City High School, added that Winn-Dixie is the town's second-largest employer. 'Students and parents work here,' he said. 'Walking through those doors feels like coming home.' The resolution will be sent to both Southeast Grocers and Aldi. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] The mayor said she hasn't reached out to state officials just yet. There is still time before the companies move forward with the planned conversion. Crescent City officials hope a show of community unity will persuade corporate leaders to keep their decades-old anchor store open.
