Lottery: Broward County is on a roll!

Boy, this is getting fun.

Just four days after a $28 million Lotto ticket hit in Hallandale Beach, the Florida Lottery today says a ticket sold in Deerfield Beach matched matched the six winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing and will win the $3 million jackpot.

The numbers were: 02 - 19 - 25 - 26 - 36 - 40.

Like Saturday's winner, this one was a Quick Pick.

It was sold at Kwik Stop, 1320 S. Federal Highway, Deerfield Beach.

And on top of that, a Miramar man claimed his $500,000 prize from an Oct. 27 Mega Money drawing, the Lottery announced Monday.

"Broward is certainly having a streak of lottery winners," the Lottery's Shelly Safford said.

Including last night's $3 million jackpot winner, there have been 85 jackpot-winning Florida Lotto tickets purchased in Broward County since 1988. Last night's winning ticket marks the third Lotto jackpot-winning ticket this year from Broward County. Also, since January, 60 top-prize winning Fantasy 5 tickets and five Mega Money jackpot-winning tickets have been sold in Broward County.

The next drawing is at 11:15 Saturday and will be for $3 million. Webcasts of Florida Lottery drawings are available on the Lottery’s Web site at flalottery.com.

Nick - do you monitor and post all the winners as it seems you only post a winner about once a month on average and fantasy five is everyday,

If it's $1 million or more South Florida winner, I do it when the state sends the press release. I can't do all Lottery; we do have a Lottery page Sun-Sentinel.com/Lottery.

I also will break my own rule and go down to say, $500,000, if it's interesting or I think general readers, not just lottery players, would want it. Such as, say, an 85-year-old man winning or something...

The best Lottery site is OrlandoSentinel.com/MrLucky but he's not as big into getting local names out there as I am.
