2 South Florida tickets, 1 from a Publix, among 3 Florida Lottery winners

Another Tuesday of Jackpot Triple Play, Mega Millions, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life games turned out to be more than just another Tuesday for three players from the Miami and Tampa metropolitan areas.

Nobody hit the Jackpot Triple Play, which will be up to a $1.7 million top prize on Friday. In the even more immediate future, Wednesday’s estimated Powerball jackpot is $681 million.

Quick Picks ruled Tuesday.

The midday Fantasy 5 drawing numbers — 11, 16, 20, 21, 23 — were on Quick Picks from the Miami Gardens Publix at 19955 NW Second Ave., and a Shell station in Pasco County’s Holiday area, 2715 U.S. 19. Each ticket is worth $27,427.

The $107,379 Fantasy 5 evening drawing jackpot went to the holder of a Quick Pick ticket bought at a BP gas station at 6555 W. Boynton Beach Blvd., in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The lucky numbers: 4, 6, 25, 30 and 35.
