A Publix sold Friday and Saturday’s only Florida Lottery major draw game winner

Two days of major money Florida Lottery draw games provided major money happiness to only one person.

That person didn’t play MegaMillions, which will be up to $215 million at Tuesday’s drawing. Nor, did they play Powerball, which will have a $137 million top prize Monday. Jackpot Triple Play is up to $2 million. Florida Lotto will have a $15 million jackpot on Wednesday.

Friday’s Fantasy 5 evening drawing came up 7, 9, 15, 26 and 29, numbers chosen by the computer for a Quick Pick ticket bought at the Publix at 3636 Harden Blvd. in Lakeland. That’s a $117,847 hit.

This ticket must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office or one of the nine Florida Lottery district offices. Appointments can be made, but aren’t necessary.
