The winning Fantasy 5 numbers for its Wednesday evening drawing were: 2-4-14-26-35.

ā€œWhile any Florida Lottery retailer can validate the winning ticket, the FANTASY 5 top prize must be claimed at a Florida Lottery District Office,ā€ a news release from the Florida Lottery stated. ā€œPlayers can obtain additional information by calling the Lotteryā€™s Customer Service Department at (850) 487-7787 or visiting the Florida Lotteryā€™s website at www.flalottery.com.ā€

Players can also download the Lotteryā€™s mobile app to scan a ticket barcode to see if itā€™s a winner.

ā€œFANTASY 5 is a pari-mutuel game in which players win the top prize by matching 5-of-5 winning numbers drawn in any order,ā€ the news release stated. ā€œAdditionally, players win cash prizes or a free Quick Pick ticket by matching two, three, or four of the numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played. If there is no top prize winner, the money in the top prize pool rolls down and is shared among players who match 4-of-5 or 3-of-5 winning numbers.ā€
