Two Florida Lottery tickets worth $1 million and $2 million were bought in Miami-Dade

A stop at a Kendall gas station and a trip to a ZooMiami area supermarket made two people million-dollar lottery game winners after Tuesday night’s drawings.

A Quick Pick ticket bought at the Fresco y Mas at 18302 SW 137th Ave. matched the Jackpot Triple Play draw of 20-21-24-38-40-41. That’s a $2 million hit as the lone jackpot winner. This ticket, being above $1 million, must be cashed at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee, 250 Marriott Dr. That office can be reached at 850-487-7787 or by emailing CLAIMSPROCESSING@flalottery.com.

The Mega Millions winner can be redeemed at any Florida Lottery district office, such as the one in Miami Lakes at 14621 Oak Ln., which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required, at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
