Second Lottery Winner In Less Than A Week At Local Store

December 22, 2008

For the second time in less than a week, somebody purchased a winning ticket worth over $100,000 in the Florida Lottery at a Highway 97 store.

In the Saturday night Fantasy 5 drawing, a ticket purchased at the State Line Gift Shop in Davisville was one of two winners, splitting a $270,569.24 top prize. The Davisville winner and one from Clewiston will receive $135,284.62 each for the numbers 10-28-29-30-32.

Somebody who purchased Florida Lottery Fantasy 5 ticket at the store on the Alabama-Florida border is $123,754.79 richer thanks to the numbers 06-10-16-25-27 from Wednesday night.

The $247,509.58 Wednesday top prize will split between the State Line Gift Shop winner and the holder of a ticket sold in Miami Beach.

A store clerk says a man called the store wanting to know how to redeem the Wednesday winning ticket. He was told to contact the lottery office in Pensacola. The clerk identified the man as Guy Victor, a store regular. She did not know where Victor lives, but she did say he often buys a lot of lottery tickets about once a week.

The State Line Gift Shop will receive $500 each for the two tickets that they sold as a bonus from the Florida Lottery.
