Tamarac, Florida – A South Florida lottery player is celebrating a major win after purchasing a Fantasy 5 ticket worth more than $60,000 at a local store near Coral Springs. The winning ticket, part of the Saturday, December 27, evening drawing, was sold at Tubby’s Liquor located at 6980 W. McNab Road in Tamarac, according to Florida Lottery records.
In total, two players across South Florida claimed the top prize that night, each taking home $61,182.06. The other winning ticket was sold in Miami, demonstrating that luck was smiling on more than one player across the region. The winning numbers for the drawing were 4-13-18-27-28, and both Tamarac winners had chosen their own numbers rather than relying on the automated computer selection.
This marks the second time in less than a month that Tubby’s Liquor has sold a winning Fantasy 5 ticket. On November 29, a lucky player purchased a ticket at the store and won $40,244.40, highlighting what has become a streak of fortune for the local establishment. Employees and customers alike have noted the excitement around the store whenever a big win is announced, making it a popular stop for lottery players hoping for a chance at luck.
Fantasy 5 players have the option to select their own five-digit combination from numbers ranging 1 to 36, or they can allow the computer to choose a combination for them. Drawings are held twice a day, giving players plenty of opportunities to try their luck and potentially take home significant prizes.
While many players enjoy lottery games and other games of chance responsibly, officials and experts caution that gambling can become a dangerous addiction for some. The Florida Lottery emphasizes that while most participants can gamble without harm, problem gambling can negatively affect lives and families. Those who notice signs of addiction are encouraged to seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
For the recent winners at Tubby’s Liquor, the win is likely to be life-changing. The store’s reputation as a lucky location continues to grow, attracting both seasoned players and hopeful newcomers. With Fantasy 5’s flexible number selection and frequent drawings, South Florida residents have frequent chances to test their luck, but experts remind players to enjoy the game responsibly.
The excitement surrounding the $61,182.06 win at Tubby’s Liquor serves as a reminder that for some, fortune can strike unexpectedly, turning an ordinary evening into a moment to celebrate.
