Wednesday’s Florida Lottery drawings for Powerball, Florida Lotto and Cash 4 Life produced no big winners, but Fantasy 5 produced jackpot happiness in both the midday and evening draws.

A Quick Pick ticket from a Davie Chevron at 4450 S. Pine Island Rd. matched the evening draw numbers 6, 20, 24, 25 and 35. That’s a $81,925 stroke of luck.

The other ticket, worth $50,972, was sold at a Cumberland Farms, 1020 Shore Winds Dr., near Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County.

When Florida Lottery district offices reopen — Miami Lakes, Palm Springs, Fort Myers, Tampa, Orlando, Gainesville, and Jacksonville all will be closed Thursday as the state recovers from Hurricane Milton — this ticket can be redeemed at one of them. The Miami Lakes office is at 14621 Oak Ln., and will be open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments aren’t necessary, but can be made at 305-364-3080 or MIARC@flalottery.com.
