Lottery jackpot-winning tickets came from a South Florida Publix and a 7-Eleven

Two of the jackpot tickets from Tuesday’s Florida Lottery big money draw games — Jackpot Triple Play, Fantasy 5, Cash4Life, Mega Millions — came from the South Florida metropolitan area.

Not the Jackpot Triple Play or Fantasy 5 midday drawing, won by tickets bought at Publix stores in Clermont and Ocoee, respectively. But the Fantasy 5 evening drawing numbers of 1, 8, 13, 33 and 35 were on a free Quick Pick ticket from a West Palm Beach Publix, 828 Southern Blvd.; a 7-Eleven at 901 W. Sample Blvd in Deerfield Beach; and an Orlando 7-Eleven.

The three-way split left each ticket worth $36,791.

These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or in one of the district offices. Offices are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required. The closest office to the Deerfield Beach 7-Eleven and the West Palm Beach Publix is in Palm Springs at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd., reachable at 561-640-6190 and WPBRC@flalottery.com.
