Venezuelan Man Claims $36M Lotto Jackpot

A Venezuelan man has claimed last week's Florida Lotto jackpot of $36 million with a winning ticket purchased in Miami Beach. Florida Lottery officials said Salvatore C. DiStefano, 77, of Caracas, Venezuela chose to take the June 11th jackpot in lump sum payment of $20,036,412. Lee-Ann Drugs, located at 955 Washington Avenue, will receive a bonus incentive of $50-thousand for selling the winning ticket. The winning numbers were 24 - 41 - 42 - 46 - 47 - 52. DiStefano says he likes to stop and play the Florida Lotto when he goes by a convenience store and always buys Quick Pick tickets. After working hard all his life, he says being a lottery winner is something he is still trying to get use to. DiStefano is the 165th Lotto winner to purchase a winning ticket in Miami-Dade County.
