    TALLAHASSEE, Florida (WFOR) -- A West Palm Beach man won a million-dollar prize playing the Florida Lottery's BONUS LETTER CROSSWORD scratch-off game.

Juan Perez Camejo chose toโ€ฏreceive hisโ€ฏwinnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $640,000.

Camejo bought his winning ticket at US Discount Beverage on Nottingham Boulevard in West Palm Beach. The store will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The $5 BONUS LETTER CROSSWORD game has more than $76.6 million in cash prizes, including 10 top prizes of $1 million. The overall odds of winning a prize are about 1 in 4.
