TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (LOTTO)-- The Florida Lottery announces that Janet Reddick, 50, of Miami, claimed the $16 million FLORIDA LOTTO™ jackpot from the drawing held on January 2, 2013. Reddick chose to receive her winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $11,176,967.45.
Reddick, a long time Lottery fan, plans to keep her job and continue living her life the way she always has. “I wouldn’t have anything to do if I stayed home,” she said. She will also keep playing FLORIDA LOTTO and other Lottery games. “I found out that I won, played again right then and there, and I will continue to play like I did before I won - every Wednesday and Saturday,” Reddick added.
Mercado Miami, located in Terminal F of the Miami International Airport, will receive a bonus commission of $65,000 for selling the jackpot-winning FLORIDA LOTTO ticket. Total ticket sales for this jackpot generated more than $16 million for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF).
The next FLORIDA LOTTO drawing will be tonight, January 9, at 11:15 p.m. ET, with a $3 million jackpot. FLORIDA LOTTO drawings are broadcast on 17 carrier stations throughout the state, including WPLG (ABC) and WSCV (Telemundo) in Miami.
