Lucky Shopper Scores K with Fantasy 5 Ticket at Jacksonville Publix on Christmas Eve

While it wasn’t the Powerball, a fortunate individual in Jacksonville secured a substantial windfall with a Fantasy 5 ticket on Christmas Eve.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This holiday season just became extra special for one Jacksonville resident.

According to the Florida Lottery, a Fantasy 5 ticket purchased in Jacksonville snagged a $22,463 prize during the midday drawing on Christmas Eve.

This lucky ticket was bought at the Harbour Place Publix located on Atlantic Boulevard. As of 5 a.m. Christmas morning, the prize remained unclaimed.

Similarly, two other tickets with identical winnings were sold in Palmetto and Sunrise, Florida.

The winning numbers drawn were 2-4-7-20-33.

The last time a winning Fantasy 5 ticket was sold in Jacksonville was on Dec. 16, for $53,000 at the 11250 Old St. Augustine Road Publix.

Most eyes were on the Powerball drawing on Christmas Eve, with the $1.8 billion jackpot up for grabs. The winning ticket was sold in Arkansas.
