Monday’s lottery jackpot hits came from a Publix and a Miami-Dade gas station

Monday’s two Florida Lottery draw game jackpot winners, on a day of Fantasy 5, Cash4Life and Powerball drawings, didn’t have to share their pots.

Wednesday’s Powerball top prize will be $101 million after nobody won it Monday.

The evening Fantasy 5 drawing pulled 2, 5, 16, 18 and 33, numbers that matched a Quick Pick ticket bought at a West Miami-Dade Shell, 7895 W. Flagler St. That’s the Shell just off the Palmetto Expressway and next to Midway Crossings, formerly The Mall of the Americas. That’s a $104,832 hunk of good financial fortune.

The midday Fantasy 5 draw winner didn’t have to even pay for the winning ticket, worth $50,283. A Quick Pick free ticket from the Brandon Publix at 939 W. Brandon Blvd. had the numbers 4, 6, 12, 15 and 19.

These tickets must be redeemed at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee or one of the district offices. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required.

The Miami district office is in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln. and can be called at 305-364-3080 or emailed at MIARC@flalottery.com. The Tampa office is at Centerpoint Business Park, 1911 U.S. 301 North, Suite 170, and can be reached at 813-744-6134 or TAMRC@flalottery.com.
