A $51,000 Florida Lottery ticket was sold at a Miami area grocery store

Sunday’s only Florida Lottery big money draw game jackpot win was split between a ticket bought in Central Florida and one bought at a grocery and cafeteria near Hialeah.

The Fantasy 5 evening drawing numbers of 9, 12, 18, 32 and 36 were chosen by a player at Grocery La Primera, aka La Primera Cafeteria, 3540 NW 103rd St., in North Miami-Dade just east of the bridge into Hialeah. Sharing that jackpot with the holder of a Quick Pick ticket from an Apopka 7-Eleven makes each ticket a $51,098 winner.
