In the wake of the recent Powerball jackpot drawing, Florida finds itself home to two new millionaires. While the grand prize of $842 million was claimed by a ticket holder in Michigan, Florida didn’t miss out on the lottery excitement. Two Powerball tickets sold in the state have turned out to be substantial winners.
The winning numbers for Monday’s Powerball drawing were 12-21-42-44-49, with Powerball number 1 and a 3X multiplier. Amidst these numbers, two tickets sold in Florida successfully matched five of them but fell short of the Powerball number.
The first of these winning tickets, a Quick Pick, was sold in Port Saint Lucie. This ticket, which missed the Powerball number, is now valued at $1 million. The lucky purchase was made at Publix located at 1537 NW Saint Lucie West Boulevard in Port Saint Lucie, Florida 34986.
