A Publix, a Sedano’s and a Hialeah store sold Saturday’s lottery winners
Of the four Florida Lottery jackpot-winning tickets Saturday — a day of Florida Lotto, Powerball, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life drawings — three were bought in South Florida..
None snagged the Powerball retirement package jackpot, which will be up to $605 million for Monday’s drawing or the Florida Lotto top prize. That’ll be $26 million on Wednesday.
Saturday’s first Fantasy 5 drawing brought happiness to two Broward supermarket shoppers via the numbers 5, 9, 19, 22 and 32. Those numbers were on tickets bought at a Miramar Publix, 18409 Miramar Pkwy, and a Pembroke Pines Sedano’s, 17171 Pines Blvd. Each ticket won $27,658.
The Fantasy 5 evening drawing came up 20, 24, 28, 33 and 35, numbers chosen by a player at Hialeah’s Cigarette Mart, 2319 W. 52nd St., and on a Quick Pick ticket sold at a 7-Eleven in Apopka, 1117 Semoran Blvd. Those became $58,268 tickets.
These tickets have to be cashed at a Florida Lottery office, which are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The closest office to the aforementioned South Florida locations is the Miami district office, which is 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required, at MIARC@flalottery.com or 035-364-3080.
