Someone who bought a Florida Lotto ticket at a Boca Raton-area Publix is suddenly sitting on a $29.25 million jackpot, whether they realize it yet or not. The ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing and was sold at the State Road 7 store, where it was still listed as unclaimed in the lottery's Saturday update. The massive win capped a busy weekend of smaller jackpots across the state.
Official Record Lists The Seller And Prize
According to the Florida Lottery winners list, the jackpot is recorded at $29.25 million. The retailer is listed as Publix #2008 at 19595 S. State Road 7 in Boca Raton, with the prize marked "UNCLAIMED AT THIS TIME." The lottery's jackpot file is the official record the agency uses to track claims and retailer details after each drawing.
Winning Numbers And Where This Jackpot Ranks
The winning Florida Lotto numbers were 3, 6, 7, 35, 36 and 39, as reported by the Miami Herald. The Herald notes this is the largest Florida Lotto prize since a $36.5 million jackpot hit in September.
Fantasy 5 Payouts Also Landed Across Florida
The Florida Lottery's Fantasy 5 top-prize list shows two midday winners, with tickets bought at 7-Eleven stores in Punta Gorda and Naples, each worth about $31,514, and two evening winners, at Winter Springs Food Market and an Orlando-area Publix, each worth about $63,934. Those Fantasy 5 entries are listed as unclaimed in the lottery's midday and evening summaries, according to the Florida Lottery.
How Winners Can Claim And What Happens Next
Per the Miami Herald, Florida Lottery rules require prizes over $1 million to be claimed at state headquarters in Tallahassee. The lottery lists Claims Processing at 250 Marriott Drive and provides a claims phone line at 850-487-7787. The Herald also points to the nearest Palm Springs district office for Boca Raton winners and urges anyone holding a winning ticket to sign the back and keep it secure until they make a claim.
What Winners Should Do Now
If you bought a ticket at the State Road 7 Publix, check your numbers immediately and sign the back of the ticket to establish ownership. Contact the district office or the lottery's claims line before traveling to Tallahassee so staff can walk you through the next steps and any required paperwork.
