Of Tuesday’s three major money Florida Lottery draw games — Mega Millions, Fantasy 5, Jackpot Triple Play — the only top prize hit chose their numbers at a Fort Lauderdale grocery store.
Those numbers weren’t for Jackpot Triple Play or the Mega Millions jackpot, now boosted to $743 million for Friday’s drawing. Wednesday’s Powerball draw will be worth $567 million if you can get all those numbers.

Tuesday, someone choosing 13, 21, 22, 26 and 27 for the Fantasy 5 evening draw made a trip to the Kwik Stop, 2300 SW Fourth Ave., quite profitable. Unless that person somehow spent more than the $105,603 that the winning ticket is worth.
This ticket must be cashed at a Florida Lottery district office. The closest office is called “the Miami office,” but actually sits in Miami Lakes at 14621 Oak Ln. Appointments, which aren’t required, can be made at MIARC@flalottery.com or 305-364-3080. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
