A jackpot lottery ticket was bought in Miami-Dade. Did you get lucky?
A stop at a Miami Gardens gas station will fill up someone's bank account after Saturday night's Powerball, Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life drawings.
Florida Lotto's jackpot will be up to $5.75 million on Wednesday. Monday's Powerball big prize will be $20 million after a winner in California and a $1 million hit out of a Port St. Lucie liquor store.
The evening's Fantasy 5 numbers — 2, 11, 13, 20, 28 — were on a ticket from a Jiffy Food Mart convenience store on Nova Road in Ormond Beach and a Quick Pick ticket bought at a Miami Gardens Marathon, 19855 NW 37th Ave. Each ticket is worth $63,289
Winning tickets at or under $1 million can be redeemed at the main Florida Lottery office in Tallahassee or Florida Lottery district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Miami district office, 14621 Oak Ln., is in Miami Lakes. You can walk-in or make an appointment by calling 305-364-3080 or emailing MIARC@flalottery.com.

Is that your $2 million? Powerball winner only has weeks to claim prize
Is that your $2 million? Powerball winner only has weeks to claim prize Show Caption Hide Caption Powerball, Mega Millions jackpots: What to know in case you win Here's what to know in case you win the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY One very lucky Powerball player in Colorado may miss out on millions of dollars if they do not come forward soon. The person who purchased the winning ticket from the Dec. 16, 2024 Powerball drawing has until June 14 to claim the $2 million they won via Power Play, a multiplier applied to any prizes you win apart from the jackpot. Lottery players in Colorado typically have 180 days to claim prizes on winning tickets. Anyone who matches five numbers, without the Powerball will see their award doubled from $1 million to $2 million, regardless of which Power Play number is selected. According to the Colorado Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased a grocery store gas station in Aurora, a Denver suburb on Dec. 16, 2024. "Colorado has thousands of unclaimed prizes every year," the Colorado Lottery writes on its website. "Most of those are smaller prizes like $1 or $2. If we have a larger prize that is about to expire, we will try to alert the media and post on our social media pages to hopefully find the rightful winner." Neither the Colorado Lottery nor the Powerball immediately responded to USA TODAY's request for comment. How long does the winner have to claim the prize? The timeframe to claim prizes varies from state to state, but in Colorado, players generally have 180 days to claim prizes on winning tickets. (For Jackpot game tickets, the 180-day clock starts the date of the drawing.) Any unclaimed prize money goes into the fund for "our proceeds beneficiaries," according to the Colorado Lottery. Players can check out the Unclaimed Prize archive on the Colorado Lottery's website to see if there have been any unredeemed winning Jackpot tickets in their area, or maybe at the retailer they frequent. The Colorado Lottery encourages players "not to wait and to check their tickets soon after purchase." 'Keep it quiet:' Here's what to know and do if you win the Mega Millions jackpot Winners of $600 or more, as is this case, can claim their money in three ways: Bring your winning ticket and your valid government photo ID to any of our four claims centers during business hours Claim your prize by filing an online claim Mail your completed Colorado Lottery Prize Claim Form and signed winning ticket to Colorado Lottery, PO BOX 7, Pueblo, CO 81002 (FedEx and UPS users please mail to 225 N Main St, Pueblo, CO 81003). Please allow one to two weeks for processing, and a check will be mailed to you. Incomplete forms may result in a delay. Colorado Lottery players are encouraged to contact the Lottery at 1-800-999-2959 with any questions or concerns. Where can I buy lottery tickets? Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery 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.

Mark Cuban Shares What To Do If You Win The Lottery — Never Take The Lump Sum, Don't Invest It, And Say 'No' To Everyone Asking For Money
It's fun to dream about winning the lottery — even if you know deep down your odds are roughly the same as getting struck by lightning while being attacked by a shark on your birthday. But just in case you do hit the jackpot, billionaire Mark Cuban has some blunt advice that tends to resurface anytime the Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots start breaking records. Back in 2016, when the Powerball jackpot ballooned $1.6 billion, Cuban gave a refreshingly practical interview to The Dallas Morning News. The man who sold to Yahoo for billions didn't suggest a luxury car or a hot new startup. His advice? Sit down, shut up — and don't touch a thing. Don't Miss: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. "You don't become a smart investor by winning the lottery," Cuban said. "Don't make investments. You can put it in the bank and live comfortably forever. You'll sleep a lot better knowing you won't lose money." Yes, the guy who starred on "Shark Tank" told people not to invest. And he meant it. Winning the lottery doesn't make you Warren Buffett. It just makes you a target. So what should you do? First, don't take the lump sum. Cuban says to opt for the annuity — that 30-year drip-feed of millions — instead of grabbing it all at once. The reason? You're less likely to blow through it like a kid in a candy store with no budget. Trending: Second, hire a tax attorney immediately. "Before you do anything," Cuban warned, "talk to your accountant." Taxes will take a chunk, and if you're not careful, so will scammers, shady advisors, and long-lost relatives with big dreams and zero business plans. Then there's the part nobody likes to talk about: saying no. It sounds simple—until the texts start coming in and everyone suddenly has an emergency that only six figures can fix. "Tell all your friends and relatives no," Cuban said. "They will ask. Tell them no. If you are close to them, you already know who needs help and what they need... Anyone who asks is not your friend." Ouch. But fair. Cuban also dropped a reality check about money and happiness: "If you weren't happy yesterday, you won't be happy tomorrow. It's money. It's not happiness. If you were happy yesterday, you're going to be a lot happier tomorrow. Life gets easier when you don't have to worry about the bills."And don't mistake this for some kind of green light to become a regular at the corner store lotto machine. Cuban called playing the lottery "OK" for entertainment — just don't dump your paycheck into it. "It's OK to spend $2 for entertainment value," he added via email. "If you have $10, go to a Mavs game." So if lightning does strike and you're suddenly holding a billion-dollar ticket, just remember: no lump sum, no risky investments, no to Chad's new crypto café idea — and yes to a tax attorney and peace of mind. Cuban's been rich for a while. He's not guessing. Read Next:Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? .

Lottery player since 1973 wins big prize. ‘You've gotta play to win'
A longtime lottery player's persistence paid off with a big win in Maryland, officials said. The Clarksburg man, who's been playing the lottery since 1973, won $250,000 via Pick 5, the Maryland Lottery said in a June 2 news release. Pick 5 is one of his mainstay games, along with Pick 3 and Cash4Life, lottery officials said. He's scored some other wins recently, including $5,000 playing Pick 5 and three Cash4Life wins at $2,500, according to lottery officials. For the $250,000 win, he chose his own number combination and bought five tickets at a convenience store in Frederick, lottery officials said. 'There was nothing special about the combination, 39943, but the first three digits caught his eye when they hit on a different drawing. He's been playing that combination for more than a year,' according to lottery officials. The man plans to put his winnings in the bank, and 'eventually, it'll go into my house,' he told lottery officials. He had some words of wisdom for other lottery players, per the release, including 'don't go beyond your means.' He also said, 'The rule of thumb is, you've gotta play to win,' lottery officials said. Clarksburg is about a 45-mile drive west from Baltimore.
