Tickets from Miami-Dade and Broward were among Thursday’s 5 lottery winners

Among the Florida Lottery major money draw games, all have Thursday off except for Fantasy 5’s two drawings. Those two drawings produced five jackpot tickets.

The midday draw came up 3, 17, 26, 29 and 31, fortunate numbers for a Quick Pick ticket buyer at BJ’s Wholesale Club, 7050 SW 24th St. in West Miami-Dade. That’s a $60,531 hunk of luck.

As would be the case Friday, one jackpot went to a lone Quick Pick ticket and the other jackpot would be split among players who manually chose the same numbers.

Thursday’s evening draw quintet — 1, 4, 5, 10, 23 — were in the heads of players at Cypress Bend Liquor, 1000 S. Powerline Rd. in Pompano Beach; a Walmart at 2570 County Rd. 220, in Middleburg; an Inverness 7-Eleven, 1007 U.S. 41 N; and a Seffner Winn-Dixie, 750 W. Martin Luther King Blvd. Each ticket won $28,983.

These tickets must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery district offices around the state. The Miami district office is at 14621 Oak Lane in Miami Lakes. Like most lottery offices, it’s open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
