The lone major lottery draw winner Saturday got the ticket in Miami-Dade

The only winner among Saturday’s major money Florida Lottery draw games — Powerball, Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5 — played in Miami-Dade and didn’t have to pay for the ticket.
Nobody made the womp rat shot of hitting all the Powerball numbers, pushing that jackpot to $478 million for Monday’s drawing. Nobody hit the Florida Lotto or Fantasy 5 evening draw numbers, either.

But, someone who stopped by the Mobil station at 9497 NW Seventh Ave. in North Miami-Dade showed up with a Fantasy 5 ticket with 2 of 5 numbers, thus getting them a free Quick Pick ticket. That free ticket had the Fantasy 5 midday draw numbers of 3, 15, 17, 27 and 36. That turned out to be a $60,133 return on no investment.
