A Broward grocer sold a $109,000 Florida Lottery draw jackpot winner

A Florida Lottery big money draw game player's luck started and stopped at a Sunrise grocery store on Friday. That wasn't for the Mega Millions drawing, which will have a $70 million jackpot on Tuesday, or the Jackpot Triple Play drawing that'll be up to a $325,000 top prize. The Cash4Life prize of $1,000 a week for life was won by someone in Indiana. But the Fantasy 5 evening draw came up 5, 6, 8, 22 and 29, numbers chosen by a player at the Fast Stop Food Store at 6811 Sunset Strip. Those five lucky choices were worth $109,399. This ticket needs to be cashed at either the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices, which are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The closest office to Sunrise is the office at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, which can be reached at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@

Mega Millions jackpot winner: Virginia ticket wins $348 million prize

A lucky Mega Millions player has won the largest lottery prize ever awarded in Virginia. The ticket matched all six numbers in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday, June 27, to win the jackpot worth an estimated $348 million, or a cash option of $155.5 million. The ticket was bought at E & C VA, a convenience store located at 14878 Northumberland Highway in Burgess, Virginia, Virginia Lottery officials said. The ticket, which matched winning numbers 18-21-29-42-50, and the Mega Ball number 2 – is the largest prize ever won in any Virginia Lottery game, according to the Virginia Lottery. The winner has 180 days to claim the prize either the full jackpot amount, before taxes, in annual payments over 30 years, or one payment of $155.5 million before taxes. The public may never know who actually won because a Virginia law that takes effect July 1 allows those who win prizes of $1 million or more to claim prizes anonymously. If given permission, the Virginia Lottery will release the winner's name and hometown and may release publicity photos. This is the fourth Mega Millions jackpot won in 2025 and nearly matches a $349 million jackpot won in Illinois on March 25, according to Mega Millions. That win occurred on the same day that Mega Millions announced a mega overhaul, raising tickets from $2 to $5 and a starting jackpot of $50 million, up from $20 million. The changes also included better odds – although still a long shot – of 1 in 290,472,336, compared to 1 in 302,575,350, according to Mega Millions. The odds of winning any Mega Millions prize increased to 1 in 23, compared to 1 in 24. Soon after the lottery changes went into effect, a winning ticket for $112 million was sold in Ohio. A lucky ticket sold in Arizona claimed a $112 million jackpot January 17. The jackpot now resets to $50 million ($22.4 million cash option) for the next drawing on Tuesday, July 1. To play the Mega Millions, you can buy a ticket at a variety of locations, including convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores. In some states, you can buy tickets online, too. Once you have a ticket, pick six numbers. Five of the numbers will be white balls with numbers from 1-70. The gold Mega Balls will range from 1-24 in the new game, where they previously ranged from 1-25. You can also let the computer randomly generate picks for you; just ask for a "Quick Play" or an "Easy Pick." Mega Millions tickets can be purchased in person at local gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell tickets. You can also order tickets online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in these U.S. states and territories: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia. The Jackpocket app allows you to pick your lottery game and numbers, place your order, see your ticket and collect your winnings all using your phone or home computer.
