Who sold the one big winner among the Powerball, Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5 draws?

Wednesday’s luck among players of the major money Florida Lottery draw games — Florida Lotto, Powerball, Fantasy 5 — was concentrated on one ticket.

And, the holder didn’t have to pay for that ticket.

That ticket wasn’t for Powerball, for which Saturday’s jackpot will be $120 million. Nor was it for Florida Lotto, which will be up to $9.25 million.

But, a free Quick Pick ticket from the lottery machine at Ramona Food Store, 8019 Ramona Blvd. West in Jacksonville, had the Fantasy 5 evening draw numbers of 1, 8, 26, 33 and 36. That’s a $120,813 stroke of luck.

This ticket must be cashed at a Florida Lottery office. The Jacksonville office is at 8206 Philips Highway, open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can be reached at 904-448-4760 or JACRC@flalottery.com. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required.
