One routine grocery run just turned into a six-figure score for a Jacksonville shopper. A Fantasy 5 ticket sold at the Publix on Hodges Boulevard hit all five numbers in Tuesday’s evening drawing, a combo worth exactly $117,598. The winning numbers were 9-12-28-30-36.
According to Action News Jax, the lucky slip was purchased at the Publix at 4765 Hodges Blvd. The winning numbers for Tuesday’s Fantasy 5 evening draw were also published by the Associated Press.
How Fantasy 5 Works and What Winners Need To Know
Fantasy 5 is a $1 pari‑mutuel game in which players choose five numbers from 1–36, with drawings held twice daily at 1:05 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. ET, according to the Florida Lottery. The Lottery’s Winner’s Guide lays out how prize payouts work, where to file a claim, and what documentation winners need to bring along.
Retailers, Bonuses and Local Track Record
Publix stores have been a frequent stop for big Florida Lottery wins. In one recent example, a Jacksonville Publix sold a $1 million Powerball ticket in October 2025. State law authorizes retailer compensation, and the Lottery administers bonus programs, although the exact amounts and eligibility depend on appropriations and administrative rules, per the Florida Senate.
If you bought a ticket for Tuesday’s Fantasy 5 evening drawing, pull it out and check it against the winning numbers. If it matches, sign your ticket, keep it in a safe place, follow the Florida Lottery’s claim instructions, and contact a district office or Lottery headquarters to start the payout process.
