Sunday’s a Fantasy 5-only day among the Florida Lottery’s major money draw games, but the two drawings produced three winners.
In the evening draw, the lucky numbers were 6, 12, 14, 23 and 27. That matched Quick Pick tickets from the Chevron at 9700 SW Eighth St. in West Miami-Dade and a Sarasota Publix, 2875 University Parkway. Each ticket won $50,228.

That split created the rarity of a midday draw winner’s take, $55,823, exceeding that of an evening draw winner. Sunday’s midday draw came up 8, 9, 11, 12 and 27, the choices of a player at Fruteria la 22, 2113 Linebaugh Ave. in Tampa.
Those tickets must be cashed at a Florida Lottery district office, of which there are nine around the state. All but the Pensacola office is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Miami office is at 14621 Oak Lane in Mami Lakes. It can be reached at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com. Appointments can be made but aren’t required.
