Matthew Martinez - Florida Gold Rush Tripler Winner

Matthew MartinezMatthew Martinez looks like a happy guy. That's him standing between his brother and his sister.

He has every right to be happy. You'd be happy too if you won what Matthew won - $3 million!

Matthew Martinez won $3 million in November of 2011 playing Florida Lottery's Gold Rush Tripler instant scratch game.

The Gold Rush Tripler game costs $20 to play. It offers prizes ranging from $20 to $3 million. The odds of winning any prize in the game are approximately 1-in-2.95, while the odds of winning the game's top prize of $3 million are approximately 1-in-3.8-million.

On a side note, I would recommend against spending $20 on a single Gold Rush Tripler game. If you live in Florida and have an extra $20 to spend on lottery tickets, go with 20 lines of Florida Lotto instead. With 20 Florida Lotto tickets, you're odds of winning the jackpot would be about 1-in-1.15-million. Those are better odds than buying just one Gold Rush Tripler game and the Florida Lotto jackpot is bigger too.

At the time of his win, Matthew Martinez lived in Belle Glade, Florida, which is on Lake Okeechobee.
