A ticket from Miami-Dade shared Tuesday’s only Florida Lottery jackpot hit

The only winning jackpot among Tuesday’s Mega Millions, Cash4Life, Jackpot Triple Play and Fantasy 5 drawings was split between tickets from Opa-locka and the Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area.

And the Opa-locka winner didn’t have to pay for the ticket.

The Mega Millions jackpot will be at $60 million for Friday’s drawing after no one held all the numbers Tuesday.

The Fantasy 5 midday draw — 15, 17, 24, 33, 36 — matched a ticket bought at a 7-Eleven in Spring Hill and a free Quick Pick ticket from an Opa-locka Kwik Mart and U-Haul rental at 1710 NW 151st St. Each winning ticket is worth $26,921.

These tickets must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery district offices or the main office in Tallahassee, each of which is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can be a walk-in or make an appointment. The Miami district office is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, and can be reached at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
