One Florida Lottery hit in Miami-Dade, one in Sarasota, one game’s last draw

A Saturday of Florida Lotto, Powerball, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life drawings wound up exceptionally fortunate for players in Miami-Dade and on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Nobody sent the Cash4Life game into retirement with a jackpot hit. Saturday’s final Cash4Life numbers were 20-25-30-52-55 with a Cash Ball of 4. Any prizes need to be claimed in the next 180 days. Free tickets can be redeemed for $2 cash.

A player at Hialeah’s Havana Smoke & Vape, 1961 W. 60th St., got doubly lucky with Saturday afternoon’s Fantasy 5 midday draw. The Quick Pick ticket was free and had the numbers 1, 2, 13, 23, 36, a $59,791 winner.

Over in Sarasota, at the Texaco at Fruitville Rd., the machine spit out a Quick Pick ticket for the Fantasy 5 evening draw with 7, 16, 19, 22 and 36. That won the holder $124,531.

These tickets must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery offices.
