Lottery hits for $28 million; ticket sold in Hallandale Beach
The Florida Lottery jackpot zoomed up there in recent days, and someone who was in Hallandale Beach recently will be happy about that.
The Lottery announced today that one ticket matched the six winning numbers in the Saturday Florida Lotto drawing and will win the $28 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 04 - 07 - 29 - 34 - 50 - 51.
The winning ticket was sold at Racetrac, 3031 SW 31st Ave., in Hallandale Beach. It was a Quick Pick.
This retailer will receive a bonus incentive of $70,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
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.
