LARGO - Suffice it to say that David Parsons is a believer in the lottery.
Parsons won $250,000 in the Florida Lottery’s Summer Cash Aug. 6 drawing, according to a spokeswoman for the Lottery.
“It’s unbelievable,” said Parsons, 62, a divorced Largo resident, in a telephone conversation on Aug. 12 at the Florida Lottery’s office in Tampa. “The lord works in strange ways.”
Parsons, who has been playing Florida Lottery games regularly since 1985, also won $5,000 in a scratch-off game while he was a resident in the Detroit area in Michigan.
