Winning Tickets Sold in Florida
On October 4, 2025, several significant lottery wins were reported in Florida, particularly from the Fantasy 5 drawing. A ticket purchased at the Winn-Dixie located at 8710 Sunset Drive in Miami won approximately $59,492.72 by matching the midday drawing numbers: 10, 17, 18, 19, and 24.

Claiming Lottery Prizes in Florida
Florida Lottery winners must adhere to specific deadlines for claiming their prizes. For the Fantasy 5, winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their winnings. However, to opt for a lump-sum cash payment, winners must claim their prize within the first 60 days after the draw. This rule applies to all Florida Lottery games, including Powerball and Mega Millions.
Florida law mandates that the names and details of lottery winners are public records. However, winners of prizes exceeding $250,000 can temporarily remain anonymous for 90 days after claiming their prize, unless they choose to waive this right.

The Powerball jackpot, which was last drawn on October 4, 2025, stood at an estimated $195 million, with no winners for the jackpot. The winning numbers for that drawing were 3, 7, 47, 67, and 68, with the Powerball being 2. The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for October 6, 2025, with an estimated jackpot of $207 million.
In addition to the Fantasy 5 and Powerball, the Mega Millions jackpot is also noteworthy, currently estimated at $547 million for the next drawing on October 7, 2025.

Florida's recent lottery draws have generated significant excitement, with multiple winners claiming substantial prizes. As the jackpots for Powerball and Mega Millions continue to grow, players are reminded of the importance of understanding the claiming process and deadlines to ensure they do not miss out on their winnings.
