ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The new $2,500 A Week For Life scratch-off game launched July 5, and Florida Lottery has just announced the first top-prize winner.

Dianne Vanderveen, of St. Petersburg, hit it big on the $5 ticket, and lottery officials say she decided to take her winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $2,330,000 instead of taking the weekly payout.
