One of Tuesday’s two lottery jackpot winners in Florida came from the Miami area

Tuesday’s Mega Millions, Jackpot Triple Play, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life lottery games drew two winners in Florida, including one in Miami-Dade.

Someone in Missouri won $1,000 a week for life from Cash4Life and a liquor store customer in St. Cloud took the Fantasy 5 evening draw jackpot.

The midday Fantasy 5 draw of 2, 13, 17, 18 and 20 matched a Quick Pick ticket bought at the Shell just west of the Palmetto Expressway’s Bird Road exits, 7460 SW 40th St. That’s a $51,955 piece of good fortune.

Jackpot-winning Fantasy 5 tickets must be cashed at Florida Lottery district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or at the Tallahassee main office. The Miami district office is in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln., and can be reached at MIARC@flalottery.com or 305-364-3080. Appointments are available, but not required.
