Of Saturday’s Powerball, Cash4Life, Fantasy 5 and Florida Lotto drawings, two jackpots were won, one from a ticket bought at Publix in Hallandale Beach and the other split between tickets sold at a longtime Fort Lauderdale bookstore and a Martin County Publix.
The ticket, sold at a Publix supermarket in Port St. Lucie, was one number shy of the game’s estimated $196 million jackpot prize, results show. It’s the latest big win for the Sunshine State, coming a day after a lottery player in Largo won a $108,711 Fantasy 5 jackpot.
Payne bought her lucky Triple Jackpot scratch-off ticket at the Publix Super Market at Lake Harris in Leesburg. Then she beat the 1-in-4,552,695 odds of winning one of four top prizes of $2 million, leaving two left in the game, lottery officials said.
