Saturday’s only lottery jackpot ticket came from a Miami-Dade Publix

The usual Saturday full of big money Florida Lottery draw games — Cash4Life, Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5, Powerball — came up lucky in a major way for only one player and on the day’s first draw.

Redeeming a Fantasy 5 ticket with two of five numbers gets you a free Quick Pick ticket for the next drawing after redemption. and, it was a free Quick Pick ticket from the Publix at 15000 Miami Lakes Drive East that had all of Saturday’s Fantasy 5 midday draw numbers: 4, 6, 22, 28, 34.

That ticket became worth $59,389.

Jackpot winning tickets of that amount must be cashed at a Florida Lottery office, such as the Miami district office, which is actually in Miami Lakes, just about 2 miles west of the aforementioned Publix. It’s open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but walk-ins are fine. Email the office at MIARC@flalottery.com or call 305-364-3080.
