Winning $59M lottery ticket sold in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — Lottery officials said a winning Florida Lotto ticket worth $59 million was sold at a 7-Eleven in Orlando.

One lucky person won the jackpot in Saturday night's Florida Lotto drawing, where the winning numbers were 11, 24, 36, 45, 46 and 47.

Officials said the ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store at the intersection of S. Apopka Vineland Road and Winter Garden Vineland Road.

"I should have come last night and bought my ticket, but I didn't," said Lottery player Dorothy Patterson said.

The winning ticket is worth $59 million, or a lesser amount for a one-time cash payout.

No one has come forward with the ticket, but store manager Georgina Crespo said about half of her customers are tourists.

"I don't know if it was a customer that comes in and plays regular numbers. I have no clue," Crespo said.

Lottery officials said in addition to the jackpot winner, 37 people in Florida matched 5 of the 6 numbers, winning $5,700 each.
