A Dunedin waitress took a lump sum payment of $700,000 for winning a scratch off lottery game and doesn't plan on quitting her job.

Alexandra Chaar, 21, of Clearwater, claimed a $1 million top prize in a Monopoly Scratch-Off game at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee but went for the lump-sum payout of $700,000.

Chaar is a student at St. Petersburg College and waitress at Casa Tina Gourmet Mexican & Vegetarian Cuisine, according to tampabay.com. She is not planning on quitting her day job though. 

"I love where I work," she said in a release.

Chaar purchased her winning Scratch-Off ticket at Circle Food Mart, 601 Mandalay Ave. She said she had a lucky feeling.

"I kept going back to the same store to buy them, the people who work there got to know me," Chaar said.

The $10 Scratch-Off game, $1,000,000 MONOPOLY, launched July 5, 2011.
