A lottery player in Florida has a lot to celebrate after scoring a prize worth more than $100,000.

The player bought a Fantasy 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the evening drawing Tuesday, July 23. The lucky combination led to a prize of $111,366.88, results show.

The winning numbers: 1-7-19-23-24.

The ticket was sold in Naples, a roughly 165-mile drive south from Tampa. It came from the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Airport Pulling Road North, the Florida Lottery wrote in a news release.

The player hit the jackpot on a Quick Pick ticket, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of the numbers. The ticket also was “free,” received after the person bought another Fantasy 5 ticket.

“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,” lottery officials wrote in a past news release.

As of early July 24, the lottery’s website didn’t say whether the prize had been claimed. The state gives winners about six months to cash in.

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.
