Lottery officials said Parker chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $4,030,000.

Officials said Parker bought his $10 scratch-off ticket from a convenience store in Hawthorne, Florida. The store will also receive a $10,000 commission for selling the ticket.

The $5,000 a week for life game was launched in September 2017.
