Of Friday and Saturday’s eight drawings from the Florida Lottery major money draw games — Powerball, Mega Millions, Fantasy 5, Florida Lotto, Jackpot Triple Play — only one paid off with a jackpot.
That wasn’t Powerball, which will have a $251 million top prize Monday. Nor, did Mega Millions, $227 million on Tuesday, pay off big. Florida Lotto will be up to $9.5 million for Wednesday’s drawing. Jackpot Triple Play edges up to $325,000 for Tuesday.
Only Friday’s Fantasy 5 evening drawing brought jackpot happiness to players. The numbers 5, 7, 14, 17 and 24 were chosen by a player at the UGas at 900 E. 49th St. in Hialeah; the Sunrise Publix at 9300 Commercial Blvd.; a Tampa 7-Eleven at 11303 N. Dale Mabry Hwy.; and the Orlando Texaco at 4003 W. Oak Ridge Rd.
Each ticket won $28,932.
