Tuesday was a thrilling day for Florida Lottery players, and while most of the big jackpots rolled over, one lucky ticket holder in Fort Lauderdale turned an ordinary day into something extraordinary. The midday Fantasy 5 draw kicked things off with numbers 4, 30, 31, 35, and 36, landing perfectly for a player at the 7-Eleven on 401 Seabreeze Ave. That one ticket alone turned into a whopping $50,419 windfall—definitely a reason to celebrate!
For the rest of the Florida Lottery’s high-stakes draws, the excitement continues but the prizes just keep climbing. The Mega Millions jackpot soared to an eye-popping $474 million for Friday’s drawing after nobody hit the numbers on Tuesday. Imagine that—almost half a billion dollars up for grabs! Similarly, the Jackpot Triple Play draw rolled over as well, with its top prize swelling to $775,000 for Friday. Those who’ve been chasing a big win have plenty of reasons to keep playing this week.
