A lottery player is set to get richer after buying a lucky ticket in Florida.

The person won nearly $120,000 on a ticket for the Fantasy 5 game. The ticket matched all numbers picked in the drawing late July 31, making it worth $119,348.14, results show.

The winning numbers: 4-13-19-20-32.

So, where did the winner hit the jackpot? The ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket on Malabar Road in Palm Bay, a roughly 75-mile drive southeast from Orlando, the Florida Lottery wrote in a news release.

The lucky player used the Quick Pick option, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of the numbers. The person’s ticket was “free,” one scored after they won another prize in the Fantasy 5 game.

“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 Aug. 1, the lottery’s website didn’t say whether the winner had come forward. Lucky ticket holders have about six months to cash in on their prizes in drawing games, rules show.

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.
