Miami-Dade’s lottery luck is on a roll. In the same week, a locally sold Florida Lottery Fantasy 5 ticket landed a six-figure prize and a Powerball result tied to a ticket bought in Delaware grabbed attention from South Florida to the Mid-Atlantic. The hometown win came from a gas-station quick-pick, while the interstate Powerball twist has players giving their slips a second look.
The Powerball drawing produced the numbers 07, 24, 37, 42 and 57 with Powerball 5, an outcome that listed the jackpot at about $231 million, according to The Associated Press. Officials usually confirm claiming and payout details only after a winning ticket is validated, so the drawing has retailers in several states quietly checking their registers.
Reporting from the Miami Herald says the Fantasy 5 Quick Pick was purchased at the West Kendall Chevron at 14700 SW 56th St. and matched the evening numbers (1, 10, 20, 22, 23) for a prize of about $115,197. The Herald notes that draw-game winners must validate and claim that prize at a Florida Lottery district office; the Miami district office is listed at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes and operates on weekdays, with appointments available by calling 305-364-3080 or emailing [email protected]. The same Herald report also states that the Powerball ticket tied to this drawing was purchased in Delaware.
What winners should do next
Anyone holding a ticket that matches these numbers should immediately sign the back, store it in a safe place and verify the result with official drawings before contacting lottery staff. The Florida Lottery posts claim rules, office locations and documentation requirements for district offices, and lottery officials typically publish claim confirmations after tickets are validated. It is also a good idea to consult a financial or tax adviser before claiming a large prize.
Retailers that sell winning tickets often see a brief surge in customers and local attention, and West Kendall Chevron may find itself double-checking receipts in the days ahead. We will update this story as the Florida and Delaware lotteries post official claim notices and the winners, if they come forward, make their choices public.
