Sunday may not be the big jackpot day for the Florida Lottery—typically reserved for games like Powerball and Mega Millions—but for one lucky shopper in South Florida, it turned out to be an unexpectedly golden morning. While the weekend’s draws didn’t feature eye-popping multimillion-dollar prizes, someone’s Fantasy 5 ticket transformed a regular Publix run into a life-changing event.
The winning numbers for the Fantasy 5 evening drawing were 4, 15, 24, 33, and 36—a set of digits that brought a $94,853 jackpot to a Quick Pick ticket purchased at the West Palm Beach Publix located at 831 Village Blvd. That ticket holder, likely starting Monday like any other, woke up to discover their ordinary grocery trip had delivered extraordinary results.
Fantasy 5 may not command the same national headlines as the Mega Millions, but its mid-range jackpots have a way of changing lives overnight. A nearly $95,000 payout is nothing to sneeze at, and for a local resident, this win means possibilities—from paying off bills and tackling home renovations to splurging on something fun that’s been on the wish list for years.
Claiming the prize, however, comes with a small adventure of its own. The Florida Lottery requires winners of jackpots over $600 to collect their earnings at a lottery office rather than a retail location. For the West Palm Beach winner, the closest office is just six miles away in Palm Springs at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd. Offices operate Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and winners can either walk in or schedule an appointment. Appointments can be made via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by calling 561-640-6190. So, while the jackpot win might feel immediate, there’s a short bureaucratic stop before the money truly lands in the winner’s hands.
It’s also worth noting that Fantasy 5’s appeal lies in its accessibility. Tickets are affordable, drawings occur daily, and while the jackpots aren’t always headline-grabbing, the odds of winning are far more promising than the massive multi-state games. That combination makes it a favorite for Florida residents looking to test their luck without breaking the bank.
For shoppers at that West Palm Beach Publix, the atmosphere on Sunday likely started as any normal weekend grocery run. But somewhere between the produce aisle and the checkout line, a ticket changed everything. One moment, it’s just another errand; the next, a five-digit sum transforms someone’s financial reality almost overnight. The excitement that follows a Fantasy 5 jackpot win isn’t just about the money—it’s about dreams, spontaneity, and the kind of “I can’t believe this happened” thrill that money can buy.
While this particular Sunday may not have been a jackpot extravaganza across Florida, for this lucky Quick Pick purchaser, it was a Sunday to remember. And for anyone who enjoys the thrill of possibility, it’s proof that sometimes, life-changing luck can be hiding in the most ordinary of errands—a trip to pick up groceries, a few lucky numbers, and suddenly, your week starts with a windfall.
