Broward’s lucky lottery streak: One week, five top prizes, including $4M. A recap
Broward lottery players have been on a lucky streak lately. A $4 million win followed jackpot prizes of at least $50,000 sold on four straight days — five big wins in seven days in the county.
Indeed, it was quite a run from Saturday, Feb. 28, through Friday, March 6.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Story 1: Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $4 million sold in Broward
A Mega Millions ticket worth $4 million was sold at Liquor and Wine Merchant, 8369 W. Sunrise Blvd. in Plantation, for the March 6 drawing. The player matched all five white balls — 8-19-26-38-42 — but missed the Mega Ball in winning a second-tier prize. The $5 Quick Pick ticket included a 4X multiplier, boosting the win from $1 million to $4 million.
Story 2: Jackpot lottery ticket sold in Broward for fourth day in a row
A $50,000 Fantasy 5 ticket was sold March 3 at the Ideal Food Basket supermarket at 2750 Davie Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, marking the county’s fourth straight day with a big jackpot. The winner, who picked their own numbers (1-5-7-16-23), will split a $100,000 midday prize with another ticket sold in Winter Springs near Orlando.
Story 3: Lottery ticket worth $50,000 sold near Coral Springs
One of two $50,000 Fantasy 5 winners in the March 2 midday drawing bought their ticket at Supermercados El Bodegon at 8022 W. Sample Road in Margate, just over the Coral Springs border. Unlike many winners who rely on quick picks, this player chose their own numbers — 2-5-7-16-22 — and hit all five to claim the top prize.
Story 4: Lottery ticket worth nearly $110,000 sold at a Walmart in Broward
A shopper who stopped at the Walmart liquor store at 3001 N. State Road 7 in Lauderdale Lakes walked away with a Fantasy 5 ticket worth $108,640.74 from the March 1 evening drawing. The winning quick-pick ticket matched all five numbers — 8-12-16-22-34 — to overcome the game’s steep 1-in-376,992 odds.
Story 5: Lottery ticket worth over $130,000 sold at a Publix in Broward
A Fantasy 5 ticket worth $131,069.86 was sold at the Publix at 950 E. Commercial Blvd. in Oakland Park for the Feb. 28 evening drawing, with the winner matching all five numbers 5-7-15-21-34. The lucky player again beat 1-in-376,992 odds to hit the jackpot after buying a quick-pick ticket.
