A South Florida lottery player is holding a ticket worth over $60,000.

The winning Fantasy 5 ticket for the Saturday, Dec. 27, evening drawing was sold not far from Coral Springs at Tubby’s Liquor store at 6980 W. McNab Road in Tamarac, according to Florida Lottery results.

Two players across South Florida won big in the drawing that night and split the top prize, each making out with $61,182.06, records show. The other winning ticket was sold in Miami.

The winning numbers were 4-13-18-27-28.

It’s the second time in less than a month that Tubby’s sold a winning Fantasy 5 ticket. A lucky player won $40,244.40 in the Nov. 29 evening drawing with a ticket purchased at the liquor store.

Fantasy 5 players have the option to choose their own five-digit combination of numbers ranging from 1 to 36 or have a computer do so. Both recent Tamarac winners chose their own combination and correctly guessed the five winning numbers.

Fantasy 5 drawings happen twice a day.
