A ticket purchased at a gas station in West Kendall, Miami-Dade, emerged as the sole winner of the Fantasy 5 midday drawing on Saturday, securing a jackpot worth $57,124. The fortunate ticket was bought at the Shell station located at 12195 SW 152nd St. and held the winning numbers: 11, 14, 28, 29, and 33, as reported by the Miami Herald.
None of the other drawings that day—Powerball, Florida Lotto, or Cash4Life—produced jackpot winners, making this ticket the only big win of the day. The lucky player must claim the prize in person, either at the Florida Lottery's main office in Tallahassee or at any of its regional offices, such as the one in Miami Lakes at 14621 Oak Ln.
Fantasy 5 is among the most popular daily lotteries in the state. Unlike Powerball or Florida Lotto, its prizes are smaller yet more attainable. Unlike other games, the Fantasy 5 prize is fixed and does not roll over. Those who match the five selected numbers split the day's pot, but in this instance, a single winner claims the entire amount.
Florida ranks as the second luckiest state in the U.S. for lottery games, with three Miami stores significantly boosting the odds of winning. The Publix at Flagler Park Plaza has awarded the most prizes in Miami, totaling $451 million, and stands as the fifth most winning location in Florida over the past 20 years, according to Casino.org. Following this, the Mercado Miami is second with a total of $297 million in prizes, and the Publix at the Shops of Quail Roast is third with $291 million.
In late May, two Hialeah residents each won over $50,000 in a game drawing. One ticket was purchased at the East Hialeah Valero gas station (995 Hialeah Drive) and the other at Publix Sabor, located at 1290 W. 68th Street. In late June, another winning Fantasy 5 ticket, valued at $118,145.65, was sold at a Publix supermarket.
