Convenience Store Employee Wins Big In Florida's Lottery Game

Thursday, March 02, 2006 posted 11:16 AM EST

OCALA, Fla. -- Working at a convenience store proved more than convenient for a store clerk who won big in the Florida Lottery's scratch-off game Gold Rush.

Mark Walker gave his boss two weeks' notice after playing the scratch-off game Sunday night.

The 55-year-old won $500,000 and is the 15th top-prize winner in the game's history.

This isn't the first time he's been a scratch-off winner. Lottery officials say Walker has won $300 on the Lucky Seven game and 2,500 on a game called Hearts in the past.

He told lottery officials he plans to do a little investing and to travel with the money.
