Florida Lottery: Six-Way Split and Rising Jackpots

Florida Lottery draws on Wednesday produced multiple winners, including an unusual six-way split in Fantasy 5. Saturday's draws promise even bigger jackpots.

Key Takeaways:

• Fantasy 5 midday draw saw six winners splitting the jackpot
• Evening Fantasy 5 draw had two winners, each claiming over $60,000
• Powerball and Florida Lotto jackpots continue to grow for Saturday's draws

Wednesday's Florida Lottery draws brought excitement and winnings to multiple players across the state. The Fantasy 5 midday draw, in particular, caught attention with its unusual outcome of six winning tickets.

The midday Fantasy 5 numbers - 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 - appeared on six tickets, resulting in a split jackpot. Each winner will receive $9,168. These lucky tickets were purchased at various locations including Publix stores in Coral Springs, Hernando, and Manalapan, as well as gas stations and convenience stores in Homestead, Melbourne, and Mims.

The evening Fantasy 5 draw proved more lucrative for its winners. The numbers 2, 4, 14, 22, and 24 matched two tickets, each worth $60,433.41. These winning tickets were sold at a Mobil station in Davie and the MLK Food Corner Mart in Fort Pierce.

For those eyeing larger prizes, Saturday's draws offer enticing opportunities. The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $444 million, while the Florida Lotto pot stands at $1.5 million. These growing jackpots come after no tickets matched all numbers in Wednesday's draws.

Winners of these significant prizes must claim their winnings at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices. These offices are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

While Wednesday's Cash4Life drawings didn't produce any top-tier winners, the game continues to offer players the chance at life-changing prizes in future draws.

As lottery enthusiasts look forward to Saturday's draws, the growing jackpots are sure to attract more players hoping to become the next big winner in Florida's popular lottery games.
