A ticket bought at a Broward Publix shared a Florida Lottery jackpot
Wednesday’s Florida Lotto, Cash4Life, Powerball and Fantasy 5 drawings produced two jackpot wins, one going to one winner and the other split among five winners.
Neither of the jackpots were in the Powerball or Florida Lotto games, which will have top prizes at $288 million and $17.85 million, respectively, for Saturday’s drawings.

A player at an Avon Park gas station took the Fantasy 5 midday drawing and, winning $52,979, was the rare midday draw jackpot winner to win more than an evening draw jackpot winner. Not just more, but far more than twice as much as an evening draw winning ticket.
That’s because Wednesday’s evening draw numbers — 2, 10, 18, 19, 20 — were on five tickets. In addition to the Coconut Creek Publix at 4849 Coconut Creek Pkwy., there were tickets from a Brandon 7-Eleven at 1020 S. Kings Ave.; Tampa Deli & Grocery at 1811 E. 23rd Ave.; a Palmetto 7-Eleven, 208 U.S. Hwy. 41; and Love’s Travel Stop, 1025 State Rd. 206 West, in St. Augustine.
Each ticket won $22,777.
These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required.

The Miami Lakes office is at 14621 Oak Ln., and can be reached at 305-364-3080 and MIARC@flalottery.com. The Palm Springs office is at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd., and can be reached at 561-640-6190 or WPBRC@flalottery.com.
