2 $4 Million Winning Florida Lottery Tickets Sold Across The Street From Each Other
Did you buy a lottery ticket this week? Did you buy it at Publix? Did you buy it at one of the Publix stores on Ulmerton Road in Largo? You might be my new best friend. Two multi-million dollar winning Florida Lottery tickets were sold this week by shoppers at the same supermarket… in the same city… across the street from each other! Weird.
The bizarre coincidence happened this week in Largo when two winning Florida Lottery tickets were sold to Publix shoppers for Tuesday’s (June 11) drawing. Both Mega Millions tickets were just ONE NUMBER AWAY from winning this week’s jackpot that is now up to $47 million.
The players probably aren’t too bummed out. They both scored $4 million because they both used the “Megaplier” which doubles your $2 million prize for getting that close.
Where were the winning Florida lottery tickets purchased?
One of the winning Mega Millions tickets was sold at the Publix at 10500 Ulmerton Road in Largo. The other? Right across the street at the Publix at 10411 Ulmerton Road.
If you usually play the number 7, it was indeed lucky. The winning numbers drawn Tuesday night were 1, 5, 7, 22, and 24. The Megaball was 8, Megaplier 4. The next drawing will be tonight. You still have time to get to Largo.
