3 TO SHARE $86 MILLION FLORIDA LOTTO

Sharing was never this sweet: A week of Lotto lust has ended with three winners splitting Florida's $86 million jackpot.

The three tickets matching Saturday night's sizzling numbers, 7-12-14-18-27-47, were sold in Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville.

Whoever comes forward with the winning tickets will claim $28.666 million apiece. They will collect more than $1 million a year for 20 years, even after the IRS takes its bite of the booty.
