A ticket sold in the Miami area won Thursday’s only Florida Lottery jackpot

A light day on the Florida Lottery big money drawings proved to be a lucky day for someone who bought a Quick Pick ticket at a Miami-Dade gas station.

Nobody won the Cash4Life big prizes or the Fantasy 5 midday draw jackpot. But the evening jackpot drawing of 9, 23, 26, 30 and 36 was matched by a ticket sold by the Shell station at 13190 SW Eighth St. Being the lone winner made that a $114,279 ticket.

That ticket has to be redeemed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or a Florida Lottery district office. The Miami district office, open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes. You can walk in without an appointment or make an appointment by emailing MIARC@flalottery.com or calling 305-364-3080.
