A Publix in Miami-Dade produced a $1.5 million lottery ticket Tuesday

Tuesday’s lone major money Florida Lottery draw game jackpot winner not only won life-changing money, but didn’t have to pay for the ticket.

That ticket wasn’t for the Mega Millions drawing, which will be up to $542 million for Friday’s drawing. Hunters for giant jackpots should also know that Wednesday’s Powerball drawing will have a $375 million top prize.
