Gas is gold these days and the Florida lottery is feeling generous this summer. Through a game called Summer Cash, five second place winners received cards today to collect a lifetime supply of free gas. CBS Correspondent in Orlando Peter King says this is one prize many Floridians would prefer over the quarter million dollar cash prize. The promotional summer game works much like a raffle.

King says lottery ticket sales have remained steady.

Even though the prizes are so generous the price of tickets have stayed at $5 per ticket.

The lifetime supply of gas guarantee is really as good as it sounds. king says there aren't any conditions except that the winnders are given twenty-six $100 gas cards each year which translates roughly to 50 dollars each week.

Because the free gas is disbursed through gas cards, winners can use them as they wish and even give them to family members.

Floridians have a chance to keep winning as the game continues through summer.....
