A Fantasy 5 player in Florida netted a life-changing prize, officials say.

Someone in Summerfield won $116,035.17 after matching all five numbers in the evening drawing on Thursday, July 18, according to the Florida Lottery.

The lucky ticket was sold at the Quick King Food Store on U.S. Highway 441, officials said.

The winning numbers in Thursday’s drawing were 2-6-19-25-30.

Another Fantasy 5 player won nearly $55,400 in the midday drawing, results show.

Both winners beat odds of 1 in 376,992 to win the lottery game’s grand prize.

Winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize and are advised to sign the backs of their tickets, according to lottery officials.

Summerfield is about a 60-mile drive northwest from Orlando.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
