Bradenton Publix Sold $4.25 Million Florida Lottery Ticket
I’m sure we’ve all thought about what we’d do if we win the lottery, and one lucky person won’t have to think about it any longer as a Bradenton Publix sold a $4.25 million Florida lottery ticket.
Every time I’m at a Fort Myers Publix, especially on the night before a big lottery jackpot, the line at customer service is pretty long. And it’s all people taking their shot buying a ticket hoping to hit the big jackpot. I used to play the lottery all the time, mainly just scratchers. I bartended for a long time and any dollar bills I had leftover after cashing in, I’d stop at the gas station on my way home and pick up a ticket or two. My favorites were always the crossword and the bingo cards. For some reason in my mind, because they take longer to scratch, I’m getting my moneys worth.
I haven’t bought a ticket in a while, but I’m starting to think that maybe I should start again. A Publix shopper hit the jackpot Saturday night.
Bradenton Publix Sold $4.25 Million Florida Lottery Ticket
I’m feeling the excitement for the person who went in, bought a ticket at a Bradenton Publix on State Road 64 and woke up Sunday morning realizing that weren’t just a millionaire, but a MULTI-millionaire. They were probably at the store getting stuff for dinner that night, decided to get a ticket and BAM. They won.
The winning numbers for Saturday’s drawing were 2, 11, 15, 16, 18 and 26. And this lucky winner got all six numbers for a win of $4.25 million.
If you didn’t win this time, but want to try your luck (like me!) the next drawing is Wednesday, May 15. Because the jackpot was hit, it will reset to $1 million.
Good luck!
