Today is March 9, 2026, and excitement is buzzing through the air in Florida as several lucky winners celebrate big wins from the latest Florida Lottery draws. On Friday, the lottery saw a flurry of activity with a number of jackpot tickets sold across the state, including one at a Publix in Kendall.
Among the highlights, a ticket purchased at a liquor store in South Florida took home an impressive $4 million. The Mega Millions jackpot for Monday has also caught the attention of many, estimated at approximately $496 million, as no one managed to match all five numbers plus the MegaBall. In addition, a Quick Pick ticket from the Liquor and Wine Merchant in Plantation matched the five numbers: 8, 19, 26, 38, 42, and with a 4X multiplier, it too became a $4 million ticket!
Local Winners and Their Prizes
In Campbellton, which boasts a modest population of just 191 residents according to the 2020 census, someone selected the numbers 6, 15, 30, 31, 35, and 39 for their Jackpot Triple Play ticket, netting a cool $250,000. Florida’s lottery continues to bring joy and hope to its players.
The Fantasy 5 evening draw also produced some winners with the numbers 7, 17, 22, 24, and 29. These numbers appeared on Quick Pick tickets bought at Publix in Kendall (9510 SW 160th St.), Floral City Foods in Citrus County, and Fast Market in Callahan, a suburb of Jacksonville. Each winning Fantasy 5 ticket is worth $42,534, adding a little extra cheer to the Sunshine State.
