Winning lottery ticket worth $35,000 sold in Broward County. Here’s where

Broward’s recent run of lottery luck shows no signs of slowing, with six tickets purchased at stores across the county in the past two weeks winning or sharing jackpot prizes.

The most recent was a $35,000 Fantasy 5 winner with a ticket purchased at a Shop & Save food store.

The player matched all five numbers in the Tuesday, June 16, evening drawing and will split the estimated $105,000 prize with two other winners, Florida Lottery results show.

The Broward winner’s ticket was sold at the convenience store at 909 NE 19th Ave. in Fort Lauderdale, and the winning numbers were 14-19-24-29-33. The other two winning tickets were sold in Miami Gardens and Punta Gorda.

The two South Florida players picked their five numbers, while the Punta Gorda winner used the Quick Pick option and had the computer terminal randomly generate the numbers. All three beat the 1-in-376,992 odds of winning the jackpot prize.

There were two winning tickets in the June 16 midday drawing, with those being sold in Boca Raton and Wesley Chapel.

Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
