A lottery player is holding a ticket worth nearly $115,000 that was sold at a gas station in Florida.

The Fantasy 5 ticket landed the top prize in the Aug. 29 evening drawing, according to the Florida Lottery.

It was sold at a Circle K in Ocala on State Road 200.

Players can either choose their own combination of five numbers ranging from 1 to 36 or have a computer select them, according to the Florida Lottery. This buyer opted to choose their own numbers and beat the 1-in-376,992 odds of matching all five to land a top prize of $114,289.

Those numbers were 16-21-23-24-36.

Drawings happen at midday and in the evening.

Another Fantasy 5 ticket that landed a nearly $115,000 prize in the previous evening’s drawing was sold at a Publix in South Florida, the Miami Herald reported.

Ocala is in north Florida, about an 80-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.
