Monday’s Powerball drawing will have a $249 million jackpot, the day after a lone Florida Lottery major money jackpot went to a Walmart shopper in Broward County.
With the death of Cash4Life, Fantasy 5 is the only big money draw game for which Sunday is not a day of rest. Nobody hit the midday draw, which came up 2, 7, 13, 24 and 30, but the evening draw numbers of 8, 12, 16, 22 and 34 were chosen by a player at the Lauderdale Lakes Walmart, 3001 N. State Rd. 7.
Those choices were worth $108,640.
