A $21.5 million ticket was one of four Florida Lottery jackpot hits Wednesday

Wednesday night was a happy night for four Florida Lottery players in South Florida and Central Florida.

The Florida Lotto jackpot inflated to $21.5 million before the draw came up 9, 16, 21, 43, 48 and 50. That matched the numbers on a Quick Pick ticket bought at the BJ’s Wholesale Club Liquors store in the Orlando suburb of Clermont, 2577 S. U.S. 27.

The Fantasy 5 evening draw numbers — 4, 6, 12, 15, 16 — were on tickets bought at the Stop N Go Smoke Shop, 2121 W. Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach; the Sanford 7-Eleven, 100 N. French St.; and Connersville Bait & Tackle, 3805 State Rd. 60 East in Bartow (Quick Pick). Each ticket won $39,074.

According to the lottery website, the Florida Lotto ticket must be cashed at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee. The Fantasy 5 hits also can be cashed at one of the nine lottery district offices.
