A stop at a Publix in Hialeah proved financially fortuitous for a shopper after Wednesday’s midday Fantasy 5 drawing, according to the Florida Lottery.

A Quick Pick free ticket from the Publix Sabor at 3251 E. Second St. matched 2, 4, 14, 26 and 35, and became worth $53,490.

Another Quick Pick free ticket from a Publix, this one in Brevard County’s Palm Bay, hit all five of the numbers in the evening draw and won $119,348. No one won Lotto, Cash4Life or Powerball jackpots.
