Two Fantasy 5 tickets worth about $50,000 each hit all five numbers in Monday’s midday drawing, and both were sold at familiar neighborhood grocery stops in Clay County and Jacksonville.
The winning combination in the March 16 Fantasy 5 Midday draw was 13-14-24-27-34. According to Action News Jax, the lucky tickets were sold at a Walmart Market in Middleburg and a Publix on Merrill Road in Jacksonville, with each ticket valued at about $50,000.
How winners claim the prize
Per the Florida Lottery’s Winner’s Guide, players have 180 days from the draw date to claim draw-game prizes. Prizes between $600 and $1,000,000 are typically claimed at a Florida Lottery district office rather than at a retail terminal.
The guide also advises winners to sign the back of the ticket, validate it at a retailer or in the Lottery app, and bring required identification plus a completed claim form when they go to the district office.
Small retailers keep scoring
Local coverage shows modest-sized retailers across the First Coast often pop up as sellers of mid-range Fantasy 5 winners, a pattern that has repeated in recent weeks. Hoodline’s reporting on local Lottery wins highlights similar one-ticket hauls at convenience stores and Publix outlets around the region, underscoring that big payouts can come from everyday stops.
If you think you have one of the winning slips, sign it immediately, validate it at a retailer or with the Florida Lottery app, and contact your district office for next steps. The Florida Lottery Winner’s Guide explains the documents and steps required, and Action News Jax has details on the retailers that sold the winning tickets if you want to double-check where the slips were purchased.
