Monday lottery draw winners came from South Florida, Tampa and 5 Publix stores

Monday had only three big money Florida Lottery drawings — one Powerball, two Fantasy 5 pulls — but seven players shared two jackpots.

The one jackpot not shared was the Powerball top prize, which will be up to $96 million for Wednesday’s drawing.

Monday’s midday Fantasy 5 drawing came up 3, 5, 7, 13 and 17. That brought happiness to the player who got a free Quick Pick ticket at Plantation’s Kwik Pick Food Market, 3870 SW Second Ct.; and the those who chose that combination at Publix stores in Bradenton, 5001 State Rd. 64 E; North Port, 17179 Tamiami Trail; and St. Petersburg, 1600 66th St. N.

All this sharing limited each person’s winnings to $13,156.

Then again, the Fantasy 5 evening draw — 9, 11, 20, 32, 35 — also turned out to be a popular choice. The human playing at an Ocala Publix, 8075 SW Highway 200 picked those numbers, as did the Quick Pick-ticket producing machines at a Vero Beach Publix, 2040 58th Ave., and the 7-Eleven at 12049 W. Linebaugh Ave. in Hillsborough County.

Each ticket is worth $34,436.
