Powerball, Mega Millions wins in Florida from Publix, Circle K. See list
Was it you? Powerball and Mega Millions lottery drawings ahead of 2026 Pi Day result in 2 winners from Florida. $10 million tickets came from a Publix and Circle K.
Looks like a trip to the store resulted in a lot of dough.
A few bucks for a Powerball or Mega Millions ticket made some lucky winners in Florida a multimillionaire. After all, as they say in the lottery business, “it could happen to you.”
According to the Florida Lottery, there have been secondary winners in the big lottery games in the past week:
- Friday, March 13, 2026, “Friday the 13th” Mega Millions drawing resulted in a big win here: A Mega Millions ticket purchased from Publix, 5230 U.S. 1, Vero Beach, Florida, won a second tier prize, a “10 times multiplier winner,” worth $10 million. Winning Mega Millions numbers for Friday, March 13, were 6-19-36-40-55 and the Mega Ball was 9. Though Friday the 13th has long been known for being unlucky or superstitious, that holiday paid off for someone in Florida.
- Wednesday, March 11, 2026, winning Powerball numbers were 3-6-55-58-63 and the Powerball was 12. Power Play was 2x. Though those numbers produced a rollover, a Powerball Double Play winner in Florida nabbed $10 million, according to the Florida Lottery. That Quick Pick ticket came from Circle K, 10030 County Road 44, Leesburg, Florida.
- Saturday, March 7, 2026, winning Powerball numbers were 17-18-30-50-68 and the Powerball was 24. Power Play was 3x. Though those numbers produced another rollover, a Florida ticket still won big: A ticket purchased here matched 5 for a $1 million prize.
- Friday, March 6, 2026, lottery drawing resulted in another rollover ($533 million for Tuesday, March 10), although a secondary winner from Florida has a ticket worth $4 million. That Quick Pick ticket was purchased from Liquor and Wine Merchant, 8369 W. Sunrise Blvd., Plantation, Florida, according to the Florida Lottery. The winning numbers were 8-19-26-38-42 and the Mega Ball was 24.
Powerball tickets start at $2 apiece and Mega Millions tickets start at $5 apiece. Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long you have to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.
The next Mega Millions lottery drawing is Tuesday, March 17, 2026, or St. Patrick’s Day, the luckiest holiday of the year. The Mega Millions jackpot is for $60 million. As they say in the lottery business, “good luck!”
How long do you have to cash in a Florida Lottery ticket?
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
Does the Florida Lottery reveal lottery winners? Can you stay anonymous if you win lottery in Florida?
According to Florida Lottery’s website, winners cannot remain anonymous: “Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner’s name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information.”
However, the site states, the “names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner.”
Does Walmart sell lottery tickets? Where to buy lottery tickets in Florida
In Florida, most gas stations and some grocery stores sell lottery tickets. It’s harder to find a gas station that doesn’t sell Powerball, Mega Millions, Florida Lottery and scratch-off tickets than it is to find one that does.
Publix also sells lottery tickets and is known for selling many winning tickets. A lesser-known location is Walmart. Whether the Walmart location closest to you sells lottery tickets depends on your state and the store. Many Walmart locations in Florida have self-service lottery ticket vending machines or sell lottery tickets at the customer service desk.
You can use the “Where to Play” search tool on the Florida Lottery website to find a grocery store or gas station near you that sells lottery tickets.

No. 5 Arkansas Clinches Super Regional Berth by Run-Ruling South Florida, 10-2
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Behind a pair of four-run innings, the No. 5 national seed Arkansas Razorbacks recorded their third-consecutive run-rule victory by defeating South Florida, 10-2 (6 inn.) in the 2026 Fayetteville Regional Final to clinch their fifth Super Regional appearance in program history on Sunday afternoon at Bogle Park.
With the win, Arkansas will host a Super Regional next weekend at Bogle Park against Duke (42-15). The Razorbacks previously hosted Super Regionals in 2021, 2022, and 2025. It marked the first time in program history that Arkansas went undefeated in NCAA Regional play with all wins coming by run-rule.
South Florida got out to an early 1-0 lead courtesy of Jamia Nelson hitting into a 6-4-3 double play with no outs in the top of the second inning. The Razorbacks responded with four runs in the bottom of the second courtesy of an RBI double from Atalyia Rijo and a three-run home run from Kennedy Miller. South Florida cut the Hogs’ lead to 4-2 courtesy of a leadoff solo home run from Alexa Galligani in the top of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Arkansas extended its advantage to six, plating runs courtesy of an Ella McDowell double, an RBI groundout from Tianna Bell, a Dakota Kennedy single, and Karlie Davison doubling down the line in right field. Dakota Kennedy then clinched the run-rule and the Hog’ Super Regional Berth in the sixth inning with a two-run double into the left-center field gap that made it the final, 10-2.
Arkansas smashed an NCAA Tournament program record six doubles while recording 11 hits in the win. In addition to Kennedy Miller’s three-run blast, Brinli Bain paced the Hogs offensively with a 3-3 day that featured her 18th double of the season, a run scored, and a walk. Karlie Davison continued her postseason tear at the plate with a 2-3 day that featured a pair of doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Dakota Kennedy also recorded a pair of hits in a 2-3 effort with a double and three RBI.
Saylor Timmerman was dominant in relief, fanning four while retiring all nine batters faced to improve to 10-2 on the season. Timmerman relieved Payton Burnham, who allowed two runs on three hits and a walk in her three innings pitched.
Carley Ernst (5-5) took the loss for South Florida (44-17) after yielding four runs on four hits and a walk in 1.2 innings of work.
The Razorbacks are now 45-11 on the season with a program-record 24 run-rule victories and a 27-3 home record at Bogle Park. The Razorbacks’ 45 wins are the third-most in program history, trailing only the 1999 (46) and 2022 (48) teams.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Payton Burnham made her 17th start of the season for Arkansas, while South Florida went with sophomore right-hander Carley Ernst.
In the top of the first inning, Tianna Bell made an impressive play at first base on a hard-hit line drive from the Bulls’ Olivia Elliot. Burnham then issued consecutive flyouts to Reagan Johnson in center field to complete the 1-2-3 frame.
Brinli Bain doubled off the wall in center field with one out in the bottom of the first inning. South Florida second baseman Kathy Garcia-Soto then turned an unassisted double play to end the inning.
South Florida loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the second inning, courtesy of a walk and a pair of singles. The Bulls took the early 1-0 lead courtesy of Jamaia Nelson hitting into a double play. Burnham then induced a flyout to left field to end the inning with a runner stranded on third.
Karlie Davison continued her postseason tear at the plate with a double into the right-center field gap. A batter later, Atalyia Rijo tied the game with a double into the right-center field gap that plated Davison. Kailey Wyckoff drew a walk before Kennedy Miller gave Arkansas a 4-1 lead with a three-run home run to center field. Arkansas loaded the bases following Miller’s blast with a walk from Johnson, a single from Bain, and a walk from McDowell, but USF escaped with a flyout.
Rijo was the lone batter to reach base for either team in the third inning. Johnson made an impressive leaping grab on the warning track for the second out in the top half of the inning.
In the top of the fourth inning, South Florida cut the Hogs’ lead to 4-2 courtesy of a solo home run from Alexa Galligani. Following the home run, Saylor Timmerman entered the circle in place of Burnham and retired her first three batters faced courtesy of a diving stop by Ella McDowell at third and consecutive strikeouts.
Arkansas responded with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Johnson singled through the right side with one out, then stole second base. Bain followed with a walk, and Ella McDowell drove in Johnson with an RBI double to give Arkansas a 5-2 lead. The Hogs would add two more runs courtesy of an RBI groundout from Tianna Bell and an RBI single from Dakota Kennedy. Davison added the fourth and final run of the stanza with an RBI double down the right-field line.
Both teams were retired in order in the fifth inning as Timmerman picked up her third strikeout of the contest.
Timmerman registered another 1-2-3 frame during the top of the sixth courtesy of a groundout, strikeout, and groundout. In the bottom of the sixth, Bain collected her third hit of the contest with a single through the right side to lead off the bottom of the sixth before being pinch-run for by Kasey Wood, who would advance to second on a walk by Ella McDowell. Dakota Kennedy ended the run-rule triumph with a double into the left-center field gap that allowed both Wood and McDowell to score, making it the final 10-2.

A Newly Built Oceanfront Compound in the Florida Keys With Its Own Sandy Beach Lists for $40 Million
A newly completed waterfront compound in the Florida Keys hit the market last week for $40 million.
It’s the second-most-expensive listing in all of the Keys, topped by a property just down the road that’s asking $42 million.
The roughly 7-acre spread on Plantation Key was previously home to the five-house compound of the late naturalist Herbert Zim, the founder and editor in chief of the Golden Guides nature book series.
For many decades, it was both Zim’s family estate and where he produced his Golden Guides, according to the current owner, Todd Maino. He bought the property, which encompasses six parcels, from Zim’s estate, he said. Mansion Global couldn’t determine what Maino paid.
Over the course of about four years, Maino, a commercial and residential developer, transformed the property into a new compound that was completed last year. There’s a new 8,200-square-foot main house with five bedrooms and a renovated three-bedroom guest house. Maino said he left some cosmetic details unfinished to allow the next owner to personalize the home.
“They can make it their own instead of buying somebody else’s vision,” he said.
Off the main house, there’s a 120-foot pool with a hot tub, and beyond that, a sandy beach extends along the property’s 480 feet of water frontage. There’s a dock within a grandfathered-in boat basin that’s larger and deeper than what would be allowed today.
“The drag is over 6 feet, so you can have a pretty large boat there,” listing agent Angel Nicolas of the Nicolas Group at Serhant said. He and his colleague Courtney Conley listed the property a week ago.
The property is full of Florida wildlife, from osprey and sandpiper nests to peacocks that wander around.

“I actually had a manatee have a baby in the boat basin,” Maino said. “It’s ecologically balanced with nature. It’s not concrete jungle—it’s not Miami.”
Because much of the property is open land and not covered in protected trees, there’s opportunity to further develop the estate, whether that be adding another house or amenities like a tennis court or a helipad.
The main house and guest house, which stand on their own waterfront parcels, are also available for sale separately. The lot with the guest house is priced at $15 million, while the main-house lot is asking $27 million, Nicolas said.
