Did either of Wednesday’s Florida Lottery winners hit $1.25 billion Powerball?
Among Wednesday’s Powerball, Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5 and Cash4Life games, the $1.25 billion Powerball top prize certainly was fat enough to split between two winners.
But that’s not the jackpot shared by winners from a tiny South Florida grocery store and a Panhandle liquor store.
Saturday’s Powerball drawing will have an estimated jackpot of $1.5 billion because nobody chose themselves — or had the Quick Pick fortune of a computer choosing — Wednesday’s numbers: 5, 33, 53, 62, 66 with a Powerball of 17.

Wednesday’s Fantasy 5 evening draw numbers of 3, 8, 24, 26 and 32 were chosen by a player at Homestead’s Market 8th Avenue, 719 SW Eighth Ave., and on a Quick Pick ticket bought at the aptly named Fortune Liquors & Lotto, 5878 U.S. 231 in Campbellton. Each ticket is worth $60,742.
These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee or one of the nine district offices.
