All three Florida Lottery major money draw games produced big winners Friday with four jackpot tickets, one from a Kendall Publix, and a $4 million winner sold at a South Florida liquor store.
Monday’s Mega Millions jackpot will be worth around $496 million because nobody got all five numbers plus the MegaBall. But, a Quick Pick ticket from Liquor and Wine Merchant, 8369 W. Sunrise Blvd. in Plantation, did get the five numbers — 8, 19, 26, 38, 42 — and, with a 4X multiplier, that’s a $4 million ticket.

The Florida Panhandle town of Campbellton counted 191 residents at the 2020 U.S. census. Someone at the town’s Handi Mart chose 6, 15, 30, 31, 35 and 39 for their Jackpot Triple Play ticket, a $250,000 choice.
Friday’s Fantasy 5 evening draw came up 7, 17, 22, 24 and 29. Those numbers were on a Quick Pick ticket bought at a Kendall Publix, 9510 SW 160th St.; a Quick Pick ticket sold at Floral City Foods in Citrus County; and at Fast Market in Callahan, a Jacksonville suburb. Each ticket is worth $42,534.
These tickets must be redeemed at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee or one of the district offices. The two South Florida winners are closest to the Miami office, 14621 Oak Ln., open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contact the office at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
