Tuesday’s Fantasy 5, Mega Millions and Jackpot Triple Play drawings didn’t provide much of a financial return for players aside from one ticket from a Fort Lauderdale Publix.
That ticket didn’t take the Mega Millions top prize, which will be $321 million on Friday, nor did any ticket have either of the Fantasy 5 jackpot quintets. Wednesday’s Powerball drawing will be worth $409 million.

But Tuesday’s Jackpot Triple Play numbers — 4, 7, 15, 30, 37, 38 — were on a Quick Pick ticket bought at the Publix at the main Las Olas Publix at 255 SE Third Ave. That’s an $800,000 chunk of fortune.
This ticket must be cashed at a Florida Lottery district office or main office. The closest office is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments, which aren’t required, can be made at MIARC@flalottery.com or 305-364-3080.
