"Giving Florida Lottery Scratch-Off tickets as Christmas gifts is one of my holiday traditions," Kelly said in a release. "I always hope to at least win my money back and I play to win, but I never expected this." 

The winning ticket proved to be in the dog's stocking.

Kelly claimed his prize in one lump sum at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, officials said.
