What’s better than a five-figure lottery draw game hit? When you don’t have to pay for the ticket, as was the case with Sunday’s lone Florida Lottery major money jackpot winner.
Speaking of big jackpots, Monday’s Powerball jackpot will be $544 million.

Back to Sunday, where nobody won the Fantasy 5 evening draw top prize. The midday draw came up 4, 22, 31, 33 and 36. That matched a free Quick Pick ticket, which you get by redeeming a Fantasy 5 ticket with two of five correct numbers, from the 7-Eleven with Mobil gas pumps at 18330 Pines Blvd. in Pembroke Pines. That ticket won $55,785.
This ticket must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery district offices around the state. The closest one to Pembroke Pines is the office in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln., and can be reached at MIARC@flalottery.com and 305-364-3080 for appointments or you can just walk-in during the hours 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
