Tickets bought at a Publix and in Miami-Dade split a Florida Lottery jackpot

A Publix, a gas station near a Publix and a 7-Eleven sold Wednesday’s Florida Lottery jackpot winners among its big money draw games.

Alas, for Florida Lotto, Cash4Life and Powerball players, all those hits came in the Fantasy 5 drawings.

The evening draw — 12-15-19-28-32 — was matched by tickets bought at the North Miami Beach Murphy Express gas station at 990 North Miami Beach Blvd. that shares a parking lot with a Publix; and a Quick Pick ticket bought at a Publix in the supermarket giant’s hometown of Lakeland, 5185 U.S. 98. Each ticket is worth $59,594.

The morning draw jackpot, $55,147, went to the owner of a Quick Pick ticket with the numbers 1, 2, 18, 22 and 35 from at a Pinellas Park 7-Eleven, 9401 49th St. N.

All these tickets need to be redeemed at a Florida Lottery district office or headquarters, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office in Miami-Dade is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, reachable by emailing MIARC@flalottery.com or calling 305-364-3080.
