• A Miami supermarket and Tampa area gas station sold Monday lottery winners (miamiherald.com) — If you hit a big Florida Lottery win, you’ll likely be heading to the Miami Lakes district office at 14621 Oak Lane to cash in your ticket. Recent Fantasy 5 winners bought tickets in Miami and Palm Harbor, and the article explains where, when, and how winners can redeem their prizes at the Miami Lakes and Tampa claim centers. 
• Florida lawmakers debate sweeping property tax cut bill for a 2nd day (wsvn.com) — Miami Lakes homeowners are being cited in Tallahassee as eager supporters of a proposed constitutional amendment that would sharply raise the homestead exemption and eventually phase out property taxes statewide. Lawmakers are debating how those cuts might affect funding for services like fire rescue, police, and parks, with the final decision headed to Florida voters this November. Residents here could see big savings but also potential strain on local services.
