For the Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, Fantasy 5 Midday drawing, a ticket from a mystery Winn-Dixie shopper matched five numbers.
In addition, a Fantasy 5 Evening ticket purchased from a Mobil gas station and one from a convenience store in Perry, Florida, was worth about $63,000 in the same drawing.
Deadline to claim a Powerball, Mega Millions grand prize, a million-dollar secondary prize, or a Fantasy 5 jackpot varies by state (see below).
A “second-tier” win means a player correctly matched five numbers in the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery, and the overall jackpot typically rolls over.
Below is information about the Mega Millions, Powerball and recent lottery wins and how long to claim a lottery prize in Florida.

Claiming lottery prizes varies by state.
In Florida, 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. This applies to Florida Lottery games and Mega Millions and Powerball tickets purchased here, whether your prize was $1 million, $5 million or a record-setting $1.8 billion.
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.”
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.
