Luck smiled again on a resident of South Florida thanks to the Fantasy 5 lottery, which continues to reward players in the state with thousands of dollars.
A winning ticket from the popular Florida lottery game, Fantasy 5, has made a lucky player fortunate after purchasing their ticket at Discount Food Stop, a grocery store located in the northeast of Miami-Dade County, at 10801 NE 13th Avenue, near Biscayne Boulevard.
The draw took place at noon on Friday, and the prize amounts to the impressive sum of $58,061.45 before taxes.
The winning numbers that turned that ticket into a fortune were: 15, 16, 21, 32, and 36.
Although the identity of the winner has not yet been revealed, the Florida Lottery reminds that to claim the Fantasy 5 jackpot, it is necessary to visit one of its district offices, even if the ticket can be validated in advance at any authorized retail outlet.
The deadline to do so is 180 days from the date of the draw.
A game that continues to reward Miami-Dade
This is not the first time in recent months that a county resident has struck lucky with this game of chance.
In March of this year, another winning Fantasy 5 ticket was purchased at the Sunflex gas station in Kendall, with a prize of $54,966.41. The winning numbers at that time were: 3, 12, 15, 16, and 20.
In addition, last October, a ticket purchased at El Palacio supermarket, in the Little Havana neighborhood, won over $50,000. The winning numbers for that drawing were 3, 7, 12, 26, and 36.
Fantasy 5 is a mutual betting game in which players win the jackpot by correctly guessing five out of five drawn numbers, regardless of the order.
In addition to the grand prize, smaller rewards are given for matching two, three, or four numbers, as well as free Quick Pick tickets.
If no player matches all five numbers in a drawing, the prize pool is distributed among those who have matched four or three numbers, making this game one of the most accessible and popular options within state lotteries.
