Someone in Coral Springs just pulled off the kind of lottery story everyone daydreams about at the checkout line: a $1 Fantasy 5 quick-pick ticket that turned into roughly $101,546. The lone winning ticket from Sunday’s evening drawing was sold at a BJ’s in Coral Springs and, per lottery rules, will have to be claimed at a Florida Lottery district office.
According to the Miami Herald, the lucky slip came from BJ's Wholesale Club Liquor at 620 Riverside Drive in Coral Springs and matched all five Fantasy 5 numbers. The Herald reports the payout on that solo winner is about $101,546.
Winning numbers and claim rules
The winning evening Fantasy 5 numbers were 2, 8, 20, 23 and 33, based on Associated Press results republished by SFGate. As outlined by the Florida Lottery, draw-game prizes generally must be claimed within 180 days, and prizes from $600 up to $1 million are handled at district offices rather than regular retailers.
Where the ticket was bought
The retailer listing for the Coral Springs club confirms the BJ’s at 620 Riverside Drive, which includes an in-store liquor section that sells lottery tickets. The win came from a quick-pick sale, matching the Herald’s detail that the numbers were generated by the machine rather than selected by the player.
How the winner redeems the prize
To cash in, the winner will need to head to a Florida Lottery district office. Appointments are optional for mid-range draw prizes, and district locations process these winnings during normal weekday business hours. The Florida Lottery’s contact information notes the Miami Lakes district office at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, along with the West Palm Beach and Palm Springs office, and lists typical hours as Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for questions, scheduling and prize processing.
