Lottery ticket worth nearly $130,000 sold at a Florida gas station. Here’s where
A lottery player is set to take home a big prize after hitting the jackpot in Florida.
The person bought a Fantasy 5 drawing game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Aug. 24 evening drawing, making it worth nearly $130,000, results show.
The winning numbers: 5-10-17-26-31.
The player scored the $128,567.54 prize after trying their luck at a gas station. The winning ticket was sold at a Speedway in Lutz, a roughly 15-mile drive north from downtown Tampa, the Florida Lottery said in a news release and on its website.
As of Aug. 26, the lucky ticket holder hadn’t cashed in. Florida lottery winners have about six months to claim their prizes in drawing games, rules show.
Fantasy 5 is a drawing game with tickets that start at $1. While the Lutz winner scored the game’s biggest prize over the weekend, several other players bought tickets worth more than $50,000, lottery officials said.
