Thursdays now belong only to Fantasy 5 for Florida Lottery players who like the big money draw games — and a Publix shopper got the biggest prize available.
The lottery machine at a Sunrise Publix, 10155 W. Oakland Park Blvd., spit out a Quick Pick ticket with 11, 13, 15, 31 and 33, the Fantasy 5 evening drawing numbers. That made the ticket a $120,278 winner.
