A Publix sold a $250,000 lottery ticket. Another store had second win in 23 days

There was one jackpot win but two big winners among Wednesday’s Powerball, Florida Lotto, Cash4Life and Fantasy 5 drawings.

The Florida Lotto top prize in Saturday’s drawing will be $14 million after nobody hit the main drawing sextet of 2, 4, 43, 48, 52 and 53. But a Quick Pick ticket bought at a Naples Publix, 13550 Immokalee Rd., had the Double Play numbers — 12, 21, 29, 34, 47, 51 — and is worth $250,000.

For the second time in 23 days, Supermercados El Bodegon at 4704 Forest Hill Blvd. in unincorporated Palm Beach County sold a Fantasy 5 jackpot winning Quick Pick ticket. This time, it was for the evening draw, which came up 1, 11, 17, 23 and 31 and was worth $115,069.

These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the nine district offices throughout the state. The office in Palm Beach is a half mile east of El Bodegon, in Palm Springs at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd. and can be reached at WPBRC@flalottery.com or 561-640-6190. Appointments can be made, but aren’t necessary.
