Someone in Georgia is holding a lottery ticket worth $150,000.

The lucky player hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning a six-figure windfall after matching five numbers in the drawing Sunday, Feb. 16, according to the Georgia Lottery.

The winning ticket was sold in Atlanta, according to the lottery’s website. The odds of snagging the top prize are 1-in-850,668.

McClatchy News reached out to the Georgia Lottery for more information Feb. 17 and was awaiting a response.

The winning numbers on Sunday were 7-9-10-20-25, results show.

It marks the latest big lottery win for the Peach State in just three days. A Fantasy 5 player won $277,849 on a ticket sold in Donalsonville in the Feb. 14 drawing, and a player in Stockbridge won $50,000 in the Powerball drawing Feb. 15, results show.

Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets, the Georgia Lottery said.

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.
