Three days of major money Florida Lottery draw games produced three jackpot winners spread across the state — one in Miami, one on the state’s Gulf Coast and one in the Almost Alabama part of the Panhandle.
None of them won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot, nudging that up to $467 million for Monday’s drawing, or Friday’s Mega Millions top prize, which will be $345 million on Tuesday. Nobody held a ticket with all six numbers for Saturday’s Florida Lotto or Friday’s Jackpot Triple Play, either.

The biggest hit from Thursday, Friday and Saturday was Thursday’s Fantasy 5 evening draw. That came up 10, 20, 27, 28, 33, matching a free Quick Pick ticket out of the machine at Fresco Y Mas, 8855 Coral Way aka SW 24th St. The ticket is worth $108,768.
Friday’s Fantasy 5 evening draw numbers — 1, 9, 12, 24, 32 — were chosen by two people. One played at a Publix in Hernando County’s Spring Hill area, 4365 Commercial Wy. The other bought the ticket at a BP gas station, 17100 Perdido Key Dr., in Pensacola. The jackpot share of each ticket: $59,159.
These tickets must be cashed at one of the nine Florida Lottery district offices around the state.
