Three lottery players won big prizes during a lucky weekend in Florida.
The players hit the jackpot after trying their luck on the Fantasy 5 game. Their tickets matched all of the numbers picked in the evening drawings Friday, Aug. 9, to Sunday, Aug. 11, making each of them worth more than $100,000, the Florida Lottery wrote online and in news releases.
Here’s how much each player won and where the winning tickets were sold:
- Aug. 9 drawing: $123,326.37 ticket sold at 7-Eleven on North Atlantic Avenue in Daytona Beach

- Aug. 11 drawing: $103,215.74 ticket sold at R & L Market in Port Charlotte
Fantasy 5 is a drawing game with tickets that start at $1. The Miami player went with the Quick Pick option, meaning a machine randomly chose at least some of their ticket numbers, results show.
