The weekend before Monday\u2019s drawing for the gargantuan Powerball jackpot, five Florida Lottery major money draw game players hit for lesser big prizes.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, nobody found all the right numbers for the Powerball drawing, pushing that jackpot to $905 million for Monday\u2019s drawing. No one hit Florida Lotto\u2019s six numbers, either.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s Fantasy 5 evening drawing came up 9, 14, 24, 27 and 28, the Quick Pick ticket choice by the machine at a Cape Coral Publix, 3015 Pine Island Rd. That ticket\u2019s holder has a financial situation improved by $97,898.<\/p>\n
Enough players hit Saturday\u2019s Fantasy 5 evening draw that brought the rare occasion of a midday draw jackpot winner getting more than an evening draw winner.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s evening draw numbers, \u2014 2, 10, 15, 16, 32 \u2014 were on Quick Pick tickets from Mr. & Mrs. Gift, 7105 W. 12th Ave. in Hialeah; the Longwood Publix at 2381 W. State Rd. 434; and the Sunoco at 790 N. Nova Rd. in Daytona Beach. The three-way split left each ticket as a $42,038 winner.<\/p>\n
Only one ticket matched Saturday\u2019s midday draw numbers of 4, 6, 10, 19 and 21. Those numbers were chosen by a player at the Crestview Publix, 1355 N. Ferdon Blvd., and worth $60,758.<\/p>\n
