A ticket sold at a gas station in West Kendall, Miami-Dade, turned out to be the only winner of the grand prize of the Saturday noon Fantasy 5 drawing, worth $57,124.
The lucky ticket was purchased at the Shell located at 12195 SW 152nd St., and it contained the winning combination: 11, 14, 28, 29, and 33, as reported by Miami Herald.
None of the other draws of the day—Powerball, Florida Lotto, or Cash4Life—had any major prize winners, making this ticket the only big win of the day.
The lucky player must collect their prize in person. They can visit the main office of the Florida Lottery in Tallahassee or any of the regional offices, such as the one in Miami Lakes, located at 14621 Oak Ln.
Fantasy 5 is one of the most popular daily lotteries in the state. Unlike Powerball or Florida Lotto, its prizes are smaller but more attainable.
Unlike other games, the prize for Fantasy 5 is fixed and does not roll over. Those who correctly pick the five selected numbers share the daily prize, but in this case, there was only one winner, which grants them the total amount.
Florida is the second luckiest state in the United States for playing the lottery, and there are three stores in Miami that further boost the chances of winning.
The Publix in Flagler Park Plaza is the store in Miami that has awarded the most prizes, totaling $451 million, making it the fifth in Florida with the most wins, according to the report from Casino.org, which considers the last 20 years.
Following this, in second and third place respectively, are the Miami Market, with a total of $297 million in prizes, and Publix at the Quail Roast Stores, with a total of $291 million.
At the end of May, two Hialeah residents won over $50,000 each in a game lottery.
