Two grocery shoppers in Miami-Dade took the two jackpots won from Saturday’s Florida Lotto, Powerball and Fantasy 5 drawings.
The Fantasy 5 midday draw numbers — 2, 6, 9, 15, 35 — were on a Quick Pick ticket out of the lottery machine at Hialeah’s Stop ‘n’ Go, 6985 W. 12th Ave., giving that shopper a $100,000 windfall.

As for the Fantasy 5 evening draw, a Kwik Stop Food Store tucked into the corner of a Kendall strip mall, 11256 SW 137th Ave., sold a ticket with 7, 9, 24, 30 and 34. That took the $134,998 big prize.
These tickets must be redeemed at Florida Lottery headquarters or one of the district offices, such as the Miami office, 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes. The office is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday and can be reached at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
