For millions of Americans, the daily lottery draw is more than just a chance at instant wealth—it’s a ritual, a moment of hope, and sometimes, a source of local pride. On Monday, March 23, 2026, lottery players across Florida and Georgia tuned in with anticipation as the latest numbers for a suite of games were revealed, setting off a new wave of dreams and, for a lucky few, real-life celebrations.
Let’s start with the Sunshine State, where the Florida Lottery rolled out results for several of its most popular games. According to the Florida Lottery and reporting from local outlets, the winning numbers for the Florida Fantasy 5 Evening draw were 4, 6, 16, 19, and 34. For those who played the midday round, the lucky sequence was 15, 19, 22, 24, and 26. The Fantasy 5 is a daily draw game beloved by many Floridians for its relatively favorable odds and the prospect of life-changing prizes, even if the jackpots don’t always reach the dizzying heights of some national games.
But Fantasy 5 wasn’t the only game making headlines. The Powerball drawing—always a national event—featured the numbers 12, 18, 47, 56, and 63, with the Powerball number 01 and a Power Play multiplier of 10. For those who opted for the Powerball Double Play, the numbers drawn were 01, 02, 07, 30, 64, with Powerball 19. The Powerball, with its multi-state reach and massive jackpots, continues to captivate players, and Monday’s draw was no exception.
Meanwhile, the Florida Lottery also posted results for its Cash Pop game, which offers several daily draws. On March 23, the winning numbers were Morning: 10, Matinee: 13, Afternoon: 15, Evening: 01, and Late Night: 04. These quick-fire games, with their rapid results and lower-cost tickets, have become increasingly popular, especially among those who enjoy frequent chances to win.
Not to be left out, the Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 games each had their own draws for both midday and evening sessions. For Pick 2, the midday numbers were 8 and 0 (with a Fireball of 9), and the evening draw produced 6 and 2 (Fireball 6). In Pick 3, midday saw 1-9-6 (Fireball 9), while evening brought 2-3-2 (Fireball 6). Pick 4 players saw 7-5-5-9 (Fireball 9) at midday and 8-2-7-1 (Fireball 6) in the evening. Finally, Pick 5 delivered 4-6-8-4-2 (Fireball 9) at midday and 0-1-7-3-1 (Fireball 6) in the evening. Each of these games offers distinct odds and prize structures, catering to a wide range of player preferences.
Across state lines, Georgia lottery fans had their own moment in the spotlight. The winning numbers for the Georgia Fantasy 5 game drawn Monday evening were 5, 9, 14, 15, and 32. Like its Florida counterpart, Georgia’s Fantasy 5 is a daily fixture, offering players a shot at prizes that can climb quickly when there’s no winner.
For those wondering where to snag a ticket, Florida makes it easy. According to official lottery guidance, tickets are available at authorized retailers statewide—think gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery outlets. The state even offers a handy online tool to help players find the nearest retailer, ensuring that, wherever you are in Florida, a ticket is never far away.
Winning, of course, is only half the story—the other is claiming your prize. Florida’s procedures are straightforward but vary depending on the amount won. Prizes of $599 or less can be claimed at any authorized retailer or district office. For prizes between $600 and $1 million, winners must visit a district office in person. If you’re lucky enough to win more than $1 million, or if your prize comes with an annual payment option, you’ll need to head to Florida Lottery headquarters—though Mega Millions and Powerball prizes can still be claimed at district offices. There’s even a mail-in option for prizes up to $250,000, a convenience for those who’d rather not travel.
Transparency is a cornerstone of the Florida Lottery system. By law, certain information about winners must be made public. This includes the winner’s full name, city of residence, the game won, the date won, the amount, and the name and location of the retailer where the ticket was purchased. The aim, according to state officials, is to maintain the integrity of the lottery process and foster public trust. While some might prefer anonymity, the rules are clear—if you win big in Florida, your victory is a matter of public record.
Drawings for the various games occur on a set schedule. Powerball numbers are drawn at 10:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Mega Millions follows at 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Florida Lotto and Jackpot Triple Play both draw at 11:15 p.m., with Lotto on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and Triple Play on Tuesdays and Fridays. Fantasy 5, a favorite for its daily excitement, is drawn twice a day at 1:05 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. Cash Pop and the Pick games also have multiple daily draws, giving players plenty of opportunities to try their luck.
For those who missed Monday’s draws, or just want to double-check their numbers, lottery results are widely available. Outlets like Jackpot.com and the official Florida Lottery website provide up-to-the-minute updates, and many newspapers and TV stations report the numbers as soon as they’re available. As always, players are encouraged to keep their tickets safe and check them promptly—unclaimed prizes are a surprisingly common occurrence, and no one wants to leave money on the table.
Lottery fever, it seems, is alive and well in both Florida and Georgia. The allure is understandable: for the price of a ticket, anyone can imagine a sudden windfall, a new house, or a long-dreamed-of vacation. But the lottery also brings people together, sparking conversations in checkout lines and offices, and fueling daydreams in communities large and small. Whether you play every day or just every now and then, the excitement of the draw—and the possibility, however remote, of a life-changing win—remains an enduring part of American culture.
As the numbers are tallied and the winners come forward, one thing’s for sure: the next draw is just around the corner, and for thousands of hopefuls, the dream is still alive.
