Sequential numbers seem to be popping up in lottery draws more and more lately. Another for Connecticut's Play3 with Wild Ball night draw saw a total of 194 players earn a straight match to win $250 apiece. Even 16 others matched the combo to also secure the top prize of $250 (based on a 50-cent wager).
Play3 pays out with 4-5-6 Wild Ball 7
Whenever lottery draws consist of popular numbers or sequences, it seems lots of winners are involved. That was the case for the Connecticut Lottery this time around, as its Play3 evening draw churned out the winning numbers of 4-5-6, with the Wild Ball 7. Overall, 210 players in the state cashed in on the game's largest prize from these results.
Along with the big winners, a total of 507 additional tickets also earned a prize. The most popular route was the 6-way box, which paid out 402 players $41.50 each.
This has been happening a lot recently. Just at the end of February, several of these big sequential number lottery wins took place.
In fact, the same 4-5-6 combination came out for a Pick 3 for the Missouri Lottery. It resulted in 935 winning tickets worth a total of $135,155.
Florida Lottery retailer responsible for jackpots in consecutive days
A Kwik Stop in Hollywood sold three jackpot-winning tickets in the last 48 hours, totaling more than $330,000.
Sometimes, you hit a lucky streak when playing the lottery. That's exactly what's happened to a Florida Lottery retailer this week, as a convenience store in Hollywood has now delivered three separate jackpots.
On Tuesday, the Kwik Stop, located at 118 N. 46th Ave. in Hollywood, handed out a $275,000 Quick Pick winning ticket. This came just a day after selling two other jackpots for the Fantasy 5 evening draw.
Overall, the store generated $331,600 in lottery prize jackpots from the massive wins.
Hollywood Kwik Stop is jackpot central
It's been an incredible start to the week for the Kwik Stop in Hollywood. With three jackpots in just two days, the store certainly has the attention of Florida Lottery players.
Things got started on Monday when the shop sold two of the four tickets with top prizes for the Fantasy 5 draw that night. The winning numbers 2, 9, 11, 16, and 29 were pulled. All four winners each collected $28,300.
The Hollywood Kwik Stop wasn't done there, though. It followed this up with another sizable jackpot yesterday, with a customer taking down $275,000 from a Jackpot Triple Play Quick Pick ticket. These winning numbers were 14, 20, 31, 35, 42, and 44.
While this specific retailer topped out with around $300,000 in winnings, there were several other notable hits yesterday around the area.
The Walmart in Homestead produced a Quick Pick midday winner with a ticket worth nearly $54,000. Then, two more came about from Fantasy 5's evening draw near Miami Gardens and Pasco County, with these winning tickets going for just over $56,000 each.
