A ticket bought at a Broward Publix shared a Florida Lottery jackpot
Neither of the jackpots were in the Powerball or Florida Lotto games, which will have top prizes at $288 million and $17.85 million, respectively, for Saturday's drawings.

A player at an Avon Park gas station took the Fantasy 5 midday drawing and, winning $52,979, was the rare midday draw jackpot winner to win more than an evening draw jackpot winner. Not just more, but far more than twice as much as an evening draw winning ticket.
That's because Wednesday's evening draw numbers — 2, 10, 18, 19, 20 — were on five tickets. In addition to the Coconut Creek Publix at 4849 Coconut Creek Pkwy., there were tickets from a Brandon 7-Eleven at 1020 S. Kings Ave.; Tampa Deli & Grocery at 1811 E. 23rd Ave.; a Palmetto 7-Eleven, 208 U.S. Hwy. 41; and Love's Travel Stop, 1025 State Rd. 206 West, in St. Augustine.
Each ticket won $22,777.
These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but aren't required.
That Coconut Creek Publix is almost midway between the district offices in Miami Lakes and Palm Springs. The Miami Lakes office is at 14621 Oak Ln., and can be reached at 305-364-3080 and MIARC@flalottery.com. The Palm Springs office is at 4360 Forest Hill Blvd., and can be reached at 561-640-6190 or WPBRC@flalottery.com.

Explaining our industry using table seasonings
Richard Turen I found myself keeping a luncheon appointment with a trusted media source I talk to from time to time. This person is a great contact who has never worked inside the industry. This was all background, so I will not cite names. We met at a diner in Miami Beach. One of us ordered the Reuben sandwich. The other ordered a bacon caesar salad with dressing on the side. We both drank iced tea. It was 101 degrees in Miami that day. We made small talk. I was interested in advertising trends, and I was advised that social media advertising funds were increasing proportionally to the decrease in magazine advertising. However, it had not yet reached any critical thresholds. One fact that emerged was the data showing that travel consumers absolutely love "best" lists. Ad revenue tends to increase when best-of and "recommended" lists are promoted. But my source was clearly interested in pursuing one rather specific question based on the travel industry changes and news of the past six months. As the food arrived, the big question came with it: "So, Richard, we are wondering how someone like you would explain how the industry really works in a way that every consumer could understand. How would you make them understand how the hospitality industry, cruise lines and virtually every tour operator seems to be competing for your client's business while also, somehow, cooperating with you? We are wondering how you explain it in the simplest of terms to your own clients." The Reuben and the fries were getting cold. But I had to respond. I reached to the left of the tabletop and slid the salt and pepper shaker and a sugar bowl to the center of the table. "Let's start with the salt." I explained that the salt represents the profit margins on the travel product: a hotel room, a cruise, an escorted tour, etc. I talked for a few moments about the fact that most travel products have additional income from every guest in addition to the built-in price profit. In the case of a cruise, for instance, the spa, the drink packages, the shore excursions all add profit in the form of onboard spend. "So then, let's imagine an average supplier profit in the range of 4% to 6%." Then I reached for the pepper. "Too much of this can kill you. These are your expenses, all in, and if things are going well, total expenses are a little less than total revenue. "Every successful travel business needs to contain more salt than pepper," I said. I then cradled the sugar bowl in my arms before putting it in the center of the table. "This is the built-in travel agent commission. It is built into virtually every product in every facet of the travel industry. When it comes to cruises or tours, for instance, the commission will average 12% to 18%, or as much as triple the projected profit." "If any travel entity, be it hotel, cruise line, tour operator, etc., can convince the consumer to contact them directly via their website or the telephone, they have taken a significant step toward seriously increasing profitability, which is always the goal and is always Wall Street's expectation. The commission either goes into the pocket of the travel advisor, or it goes into the coffers of the supplier, dramatically affecting total profits on the sale." Of course, I explained, there are many variables, such as the very real cost of doing direct business and staffing res centers, and travel advisors, overall, bring higher-margin business than direct sales. "But in a nutshell, the goal of the game from much of the supplier side is to turn sugar into salt. That is how our industry works." As to "how we explain this to our clients, the short answer is we don't." Not yet.

Miami trades Haywood Highsmith to Brooklyn in salary dump
Haywood Highsmith has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets in what essentially is a salary dump for the Miami Heat. Haysmith and the Heat's 2032 second-round pick go to the Nets in exchange for Brooklyn's 2026 second-round pick, top-55 protected. Both the Nets and Heat have confirmed the trade. Highsmith is on an expiring $5.6 million contract that Brooklyn can absorb into its cap space. For Miami, this is about getting out of the luxury tax. The Heat entered the day $1.4 million over the luxury tax line. With this trade, they are now more than $4 million under that mark, giving them some flexibility at the trade deadline, if needed. Highsmith can fit into the Nets' rotation (and could get traded again at the deadline). Last season in Miami he played in 72 games (starting 42) and averaged 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds a night, plus shot 38.2% from beyond the arc.

Corient Snags $1.5B Dallas-Based Team from Raymond James
You can find original article here Wealthmanagement. Subscribe to our free daily Wealthmanagement newsletter. Corient, the rebranded U.S. wealth management business of CI Financial, announced Thursday the acquisition of Raymond James' firm Messick Peacock & Associates, a Dallas-based team managing $1.54 billion in total assets. The acquisition marks another plus-billion move for Miami-based Corient, which earlier this year acquired a $10.4 billion family office based in New York and, in late 2024, added a $7.9 billion Portland-based wealth manager and trust company. It also comes a few days after Corient's parent firm, CI Financial, officially closed a deal to be taken private by alternative asset manager Mubadala Capital after having previously been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. CI announced that $3.4 billion deal in November 2024. Raymond James' asset and wealth management investment banking team served as Messick Peacock's financial advisor in the deal. Messick Peacock was founded in 2015 by Chris Messick and David Peacock as a Raymond James advisory firm. Messick had been with Northwestern Mutual for over 28 years, and Peacock had been with that same firm for over 23 years, according to their LinkedIn profiles. According to its website, the firm has six other employees, including four advisors. 'As ultra-high and high-net-worth individuals, families and businesspeople, our clients have complex lives and financial situations,' Peacock said in a statement. 'Aligning with Corient allows us to broaden and enhance our offering to this discerning group, including those with the most sophisticated and multi-faceted requirements.' Corient, a fee-only wealth manager, has total assets of $197.1 billion, and primarily custodies with Schwab and Fidelity. Since entering the U.S. more than four years ago, it has grown to more than 260 partner firms and over 1,300 employees.
