A Publix sold Wednesday’s only Florida Lottery jackpot winning ticket

Wednesday’s Florida Lottery major money draw games — Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5, Powerball — yielded only one jackpot winner and on the first draw of the day.

The Fantasy 5 midday draw numbers of 4, 5, 14, 21 and 28 matched the numbers on a Quick Pick ticket bought at a Publix Liquor Store, 604 Havendale Blvd. in Auburndale. That was a $56,519 hit.

This ticket must be cashed at one of the Florida Lottery offices, such as the ones in Orlando or Tampa.
