Lottery: $81,825 ticket sold in Fort Lauderdale about to expire
Check your dresser for any discared lottery tickets. And your car. And your pants pockets.
The Florida Lottery announced Friday that a Fantasy 5 ticket worth $81,825.63 remains unclaimed. The ticket was sold at a Publix on Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
The 180-day limit to claim the top prize expires at midnight Sept. 2.
Here were the numbers from the March 6 drawing. Check to see if you play them regularly:
01 – 06 – 12 – 18 – 34
The winning ticket was sold at Publix, 1415 E. Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale. (I've been in there, but didn't buy a ticket. It's a relatively new Publix in the east part of town.)
Players may obtain additional information by calling the Player Information Line at 850-921-7529 or visiting the Florida 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.
