Florida Lottery officials announced that someone purchased a winning Fantasy Five ticket at a Little Havana supermarket in Miami that is worth $50.000. The ticket was purchased by a person at the El Palacio supermarket located at 995 SW 5th Street in the evening, according to a report from Local 10.
According to lottery rules, the lucky winner must claim his or her winnings within 180 days, which means that he or she must go to a lottery office before midnight on February 1, 2025. One of their offices is at 14621 Oak Lane in Miami Lakes where you can claim your winnings and pay the corresponding taxes. This establishment is open to the public from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:00 pm without the need to make an appointment in advance.
According to El Nuevo Herald in a publication by X, this was the only winning ticket from the Florida Lottery yesterday.
The winning numbers in the draw were 3-7-12-26 and 36, so the winner will be able to take home a sum of $50.447.23 after deducting the respective taxes for this amount of money.
Like any game, it has similar interests to other games. The tax rate is usually 24% for US citizens or foreign residents in the country. The odds of winning the Fantasy 5 jackpot are 1 in 749,398.
Unclaimed jackpot prizes go toward the next Fantasy Five drawing or toward the jackpot prize in any other Florida state lottery. To play Fantasy 5, you must choose five lucky numbers from a range of 1 to 39. These numbers will be your ticket to potential winnings. There is a drawing every day, so you have a good chance of winning. The game is fast-paced and offers great odds.
Each ticket in this game is worth one dollar per bet, although players can use a variation that allows a computer to automatically select the numbers. This is called EZ Match, which costs an additional dollar to select all five numbers. This random game that is so popular in the Sunshine State is played twice a day, once at noon and before midnight.
Gambling officials recommend that people hire economists to handle the tax issue and recommend how to invest their winnings profitably.
