5 lottery draw big winners Tuesday, 3 from South Florida, 1 bought at Publix
Five winners shared financial fortune on Tuesday, a day of Mega Millions, Fantasy 5 and Jackpot Triple Play drawings.
Maximum good luck did not grace anyone who played Mega Millions, which will be up to a $452 million jackpot on Friday. Jackpot Triple Play’s top prize will be over a million dollars, $1.01 million, for Friday’s drawing.
Tuesday’s Fantasy 5 evening drawing came up 14, 19, 24, 29 and 33, a popular quintet. Those were the choices of a player at Xpress Lane Food Store & Smoke Shop, 20613 NW Second Ave., in Miami Gardens; someone at a Fort Lauderdale Shop & Save, 909 NW 19th Ave.; and the Quick Pick-producing lottery machine at Tom’s Discount Convenience Store & Beauty Supply in Punta Gorda.
Each ticket is worth $35,102.
Quick Pick tickets split the Fantasy 5 midday jackpot. The numbers 5, 7, 26, 27 and 35 were on tickets bought at the Publix at 9720 Clint Moore Rd. in Palm Beach County and the Presco Food Store at 29741 State Rd. 54 in Pasco County. These were $27,137 winners.
