Florida Lottery jackpot tickets bought in Miami-Dade and at a Bradenton area Publix

Two of Friday and Saturday’s five jackpot winners from Florida Lottery drawings came from West Miami-Dade near Kendall and in the Bradenton area.

Nobody hit it big on the Florida Lotto, Mega Millions, Cash4Life or Jackpot Triple Play drawings. A Publix customer in Spring Hill got a Powerball Second Tier prize, although $1 million is “Second Tier” in name only.

Friday evening’s Fantasy 5 drawing — 11-27-31-35-36 — made winners out of Quick Pick tickets bought at a Tampa Sunoco and the Marathon at 8700 SW 72nd St. in Miami-Dade. Each ticket won $64,208.

Saturday night’s Fantasy 5 pull came up 4, 12, 17, 25 and 28, matched by tickets sold at a 7-Eleven in Winter Park, a liquor store in Paisley and the Publix at 4240 53rd Ave. E in Unincorporated Manatee County, the Quick Pick ticket of the trio. Each ticket’s share of the pot is $44,835.

These tickets will need to be cashed at a Florida Lottery district office or the main office in Tallahassee, each of which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments aren’t required, but can be made. The Miami office is in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln., and can be reached at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com. The Tampa office is at 1911 U.S. 301 N., phone number 813-744-6134, email address TAMRC@flalottery.com.
