Pensacola Man Hits $1 Million Jackpot in Florida Lottery

On Sunday, there were two lucky winners in the Florida Lottery drawings, excluding Cash Pop. While Cash4Life and the midday Fantasy 5 draw didn’t produce any winners, the evening draw had two winning tickets sold—one in Port St. Lucie and one in Greenacres. These fortunate players split nearly $53,000 in winnings.

The Powerball drawing scheduled for tonight boasts a staggering $785 million jackpot after rolling over from Saturday. In addition to the grand prize, an Orlando ticket managed to secure a $1 million second-tier prize.

In another stroke of luck, the Florida Lottery announced on Friday that a man from Pensacola won $1 million while playing the 500X the Cash scratch-off game. Christopher Banks, a 52-year-old, chose to receive his winnings as a lump-sum payment of $820,000.00. His winning ticket was purchased from the Publix store located at 9251 University Parkway in Pensacola.

The games played on Sunday included Cash4Life, Cash Pop, and Fantasy 5, with the following results:
