Check your tickets: Two jackpot-winning lottery prizes in Broward remain unclaimed

Two jackpot-winning Fantasy 5 tickets purchased in Broward County this month remain unclaimed as of June 23, including a six-figure prize.

The first is a nearly $123,000 ticket sold at a Publix in Weston for the June 13 evening drawing, Florida Lottery records show.

The other is a $35,000 ticket that came from a Shop & Save Food Store in Fort Lauderdale for the June 16 evening drawing.

Meanwhile, five other jackpot-winning Fantasy 5 tickets sold in Broward in June have been claimed, adding to the county’s recent run of lottery luck.

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

Fantasy 5 drawings happen twice a day.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
