Tuesday’s major money Florida Lottery draw games produced two big winners who split one jackpot.
That jackpot wasn’t the Mega Millions top prize, which will be at $403 million for Friday’s drawing, or the Jackpot Triple Play, which will be at $500,000. Wednesday’s two biggest draw games, Powerball and Florida Lotto, have jackpots worth $562 million and $4.25 million, respectively.

Tuesday, nobody won the Fantasy 5 midday draw jackpot, but two people had the evening draw numbers: 17, 18, 20, 29, 30. They were chosen by a player at a Hialeah Marathon, 4444 W. 12th Ave., and by the Quick Pick-spitting machine at a Lake Mary Publix Liquor Store, 1125 Townpark Ave. Each person won $49,960.
Those tickets must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery district offices. The Miami office is at 14621 Oak Lane in Miami Lakes, open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments aren’t mandatory but can be made at MIARC@flalottery.com or 305-364-3080.
