A ticket from Miami-Dade was Wednesday’s only lottery jackpot winner

The lone jackpot winner among Wednesday’s Powerball, Fantasy 5, Florida Lotto and Cash4Life games experienced the high of good fortune after playing at a Hialeah smoke shop.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot will be at an estimated $546 million after nobody hit all those numbers.

Hitting all the numbers of the Fantasy 5 midday drawing — 16, 18, 23, 24, 35 — was a Quick Pick ticket bought at Tobacco Mania, 6500 W. Fourth Ave. (Red Road). That’s worth $52,393.

This ticket must be redeemed at one of the Florida Lottery district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Miami district office is in Miami Lakes, 14621 Oak Ln., and can be called at 305-364-3080 and emailed at MIARC@flalottery.com. Appointments aren’t required, but can be made.
