Lottery: $2 million Mega Money hits in Pompano Beach
Somebody stopped into a Pompano Beach 7-Eleven this week and now will be $2 million richer.
The Florida Lottery announced today that one player matched all four numbers plus the Megaball in the Friday Mega Money drawing.
The winning numbers: 06 - 29 - 35 - 44. The Megaball was 22.
It was a Quick Pick ticket at 2391 N. Dixie Highway, in Pompano Beach. The retailer will receive a bonus incentive of $ 7,000 for selling the jackpot winning ticket.
Webcasts of Florida Lottery drawings are available on the Lottery’s Web site at flalottery.com.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
