Anonymous
The Florida Lottery held drawings for Mega Millions and Fantasy 5 on July 24, 2026, giving players across the state a chance to win big. Tickets for both games can be bought at any authorized retailer in Florida, according to Ocala.com and Naples Daily News — from gas stations to grocery stores.
Winning numbers were drawn for multiple games that evening. Here is what Florida lottery players need to know about the results, the prizes, and how to claim any winnings.
Mega Millions and Fantasy 5 Drawings Held July 24
The Florida Lottery runs several draw games throughout the week. Mega Millions and Fantasy 5 are two of the most popular, according to News-Press and Palm Beach Post. Both games drew winning numbers on the night of July 24, 2026. Florida also offers Cash Pop as another draw game option.
Fantasy 5 is a Florida-only game drawn every night. Mega Millions is a multi-state game with jackpots that can grow to hundreds of millions of dollars. Players pick five numbers plus a Mega Ball for Mega Millions. For Fantasy 5, players pick five numbers from 1 to 36.
How to Buy a Ticket and Where to Play
Players can buy Florida Lottery tickets in person at any authorized retailer across the state. That includes gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores, according to News-Journal Online and Pensacola News Journal. No special membership or app is needed — just walk in and buy a ticket.
Tickets are not sold online directly through the Florida Lottery for draw games. Players must visit a physical retailer to take part. Retailers are found in every county throughout Florida, making it easy to play close to home.
Prize Tiers and How to Claim Your Winnings
Prizes of $599 or less can be claimed at any authorized Florida Lottery retailer or a Florida Lottery district office, according to Florida Today and Ocala.com. For prizes between $600 and $1 million, winners must claim in person — except for games that offer an annual payment option.
Prizes over $1 million must be claimed at Florida Lottery headquarters. Mega Millions and Powerball are exceptions to that rule. Winners can also claim by mail if their prize is $250,000 or less. Always sign the back of your ticket right away to protect your winnings.
Mega Millions Rules Apply Across Many States
Mega Millions is not just a Florida game. It is played in 45 states plus Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. That wide reach is why the jackpot can grow so fast. Florida players follow the same rules as players in other states for Mega Millions prizes and payouts.
North Carolina also held a Mega Millions drawing on July 24, according to Fayetteville Observer and Citizen-Times. In North Carolina, retailers redeem prizes up to $599. Winners with larger prizes must visit a lottery office. The same Mega Millions numbers apply in every participating state.
