Tickets from Publix and two 7-Elevens split a Florida Lottery jackpot

In Wednesday’s Powerball, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life, the big luck was confined to one drawing split among two tickets bought in South Florida and one bought in Tampa.

Powerball’s jackpot will be $207 million for Saturday’s drawing and Florida Lotto’s big prize will be $5.25 million.

Nobody won either of those, the Cash4Life games or the Fantasy 5 midday jackpot. Ah, but the evening drawing numbers of 2, 5,. 15, 28 and 32 were on tickets from the Publix that opened May 1 at 19595 S. State Rd. 7 in Boca Raton; a Coral Springs 7-Eleven at 5740 Wiles Rd.; and a Quick Pick ticket sold at a Tampa 7-Eleven at 13949 W. Hillsborough Ave.

Each ticket won $37,459.

These tickets can be redeemed at any Florida Lottery district office or the main office in Tallahassee, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. While there’s a district office in at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes, the most convenient district office for the Coral Springs and Boca ticket buyers might be the one in Palm Springs, 4360 Forest Hill Blvd. Appointments aren’t required, but can be made at 561-640-6190 or WPBRC@flalottery.com.
