Luck struck in South Florida. A Miami-Dade resident won $250,000 in the Double Play drawing of the Florida Lottery.
How did the player win?
The winning ticket matched the numbers 5, 8, 9, 17, 26, and 27, corresponding to the Florida Lotto Double Play drawing. The ticket was purchased at a Mobil gas station located in western Miami-Dade, turning an ordinary stop into a life-changing moment.
While no one hit the jackpot in the main Florida Lotto drawing — which now climbs to $17 million for the next draw — this Double Play win still represents a major prize.
