Sunday was a happy day for five Florida Lottery players, three of whom bought their tickets at Publix stores in the Miami, Orlando and Tampa metropolitan areas.
No one won the Cash 4 Life jackpot on Sunday, but Fantasy 5’s evening drawing – 13-15-17-27-34 – was matched by a Quick Pick ticket sold at the Surfside Publix, 9400 Harding Ave.; a Quick Pick at a Clearwater Publix, 1921 N. Belcher Rd., a Quick Pick at an Orlando 7-Eleven, 846 S. Kirkman Rd.; and a Melbourne Beach Exxon, 904 Oak St. Each ticket was worth $24,788.
Because the jackpot was split four ways, Sunday was the rare day that the winner of the Fantasy 5 afternoon draw jackpot won more than twice as much as the winners of the evening draw. A Publix shopper at 10601 US Hwy. 441 in Leesburg picked 3, 4, 7, 11 and 16, lucky picks worth $53,487.
