Anonymous
The Florida Lottery held its Fantasy 5 and Cash Pop drawings on June 28, 2026, with results spanning five Cash Pop draws and two Fantasy 5 rounds throughout the day. The Fantasy 5 Midday numbers came in as 7-8-16-29-36, according to Lottery USA, while Cash Pop's morning and matinee drawings both landed on the number 5.
Players who bought tickets have 180 days to claim their prizes. Prizes above $600 must be claimed in person or by mail through the Florida Lottery, according to TC Palm. All prizes with an annual payment option must be claimed at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee.
Fantasy 5 and Cash Pop Numbers for June 28
The Fantasy 5 Midday drawing on June 28 produced the numbers 7, 8, 16, 29, and 36. The Fantasy 5 Evening drawing followed at 11:15 PM ET. Cash Pop ran five times that day. The morning and matinee draws both hit number 5, with afternoon, evening, and late-night draws completing the cycle by midnight, according to Florida Today.
Fantasy 5 is a daily draw game where players pick five numbers from 1 to 36. The game was adjusted from a 5-of-39 format to 5-of-36 to make winners more frequent. Cash Pop is simpler — players pick one number from 1 to 15 and just need to match it, according to Herald Tribune.
Powerball and Mega Millions Jackpots Keep Climbing
No Powerball or Mega Millions drawings were held on Sunday, June 28. But both jackpots grew to major levels heading into the new week. The Powerball jackpot reached an estimated $360 million for the June 29 drawing. Mega Millions climbed even higher, hitting $511 million for June 30, according to Palm Beach Post.
Gaming analysts note that casual players tend to buy tickets only when jackpots pass $300 million. "In the post-billion-dollar jackpot era, $300 million is the new baseline for casual player entry," one senior analyst said. Florida does not charge a state income tax on lottery winnings, which could give a Florida winner a financial edge over winners in other states.
Where to Buy Tickets and How to Claim Winnings
Florida Lottery tickets are sold at authorized retailers across the state. That includes gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Major chains like Publix and 7-Eleven serve as key retail partners, according to Daily Commercial. Retailers earn commissions on ticket sales, which provides an added income stream for small business owners.
Winners with prizes of $599 or less can claim at any retail location. Larger prizes must be claimed in person at a lottery office or by mail, according to News-Journal Online. Players have 180 days from the drawing date to submit a claim. Any prize above $600 must also be reported to the IRS.
Lottery Funds Over $46 Billion for Florida Education
The Florida Lottery was created in 1988 after voters approved a constitutional amendment. Since then, it has sent more than $46 billion to Florida's Educational Enhancement Trust Fund. The money supports programs like Bright Futures, a scholarship that has helped more than 1 million Florida students pay for college, according to Tallahassee Democrat.
The lottery pays out more than $6 billion in prizes annually. Critics argue that frequent daily games like Cash Pop — drawn five times per day — may act more like slot machines than traditional lotteries. Consumer advocates say these games are more likely to fuel gambling addiction, particularly in lower-income communities, according to Jacksonville. The Florida Legislature has debated this issue as the game's popularity grows.
