A ticket from a South Florida Publix won a $29 million lottery jackpot Saturday

Of Saturday’s five Florida Lottery big money draw game jackpot tickets, including the second Florida Lotto jackpot of the year, four came from Publixes and 7-Elevens.

Someone at an unincorporated Palm Beach County Publix, 19595 S. State Rd. 7, played 3, 6, 7, 35, 36, 39 in the Florida Lotto. That sextet of numbers turned out to be worth $29.25 million, the biggest Florida Lotto jackpot since a Miami woman who played at a Hallandale Beach Publix hit for $36 million on Sept. 24.

Saturday afternoon’s Fantasy 5 midday draw came up 3, 5, 13, 28 and 30, numbers chosen by a player at a 7-Eleven at 5800 Duncan Rd. in Punta Gorda and on a free Quick Pick ticket from the 7-Eleven at 2520 Northbrooke Plaza in Naples. Each ticket won $31,514.

Saturday night’s Fantasy 5 evening draw winners each won $63,934. The numbers 3, 11, 15, 21 and 27 were chosen by someone at Winter Springs Food Market, W. State Rd. 434 in Winter Springs, and the lottery machine spitting Quick Pick tickets at an Orlando area Publix, 12195 S. Orange Blossom Tr.

The Florida Lottery website says the Florida Lotto winning ticket, being worth more than $1 million, must be cashed at lottery state headquarters, 250 Marriott Drive in Tallahassee. That office can be reached at 850-487-7787 or CLAIMSPROCESSING@flalottery.com. The closest district office to Boca Raton is in the office in Palm Springs at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd. The office can be called at 561-640-6190 and emailed at WPBRC@flalottery.com.
