A lottery player is holding a ticket worth nearly $110,000 that was sold at a Publix in Florida.

The Fantasy 5 player hit the top prize in the Sept. 23 evening drawing, according to the Florida Lottery. The ticket came from the Publix Super Market at Beneva Village Shoppes in Sarasota.

The lucky winner had the computer randomly generate five numbers ranging from one to 36 and matched all five to win a top prize of $107,914, lottery officials said. The odds of doing so are 1 in 376,992.

The winning numbers were 9-13-17-31-34.

Another Fantasy 5 ticket worth more than $110,000 that was sold at a Walmart in the Florida Panhandle still hasn’t been claimed. The player won the top prize in the Sept. 19 evening drawing, McClatchy News previously reported.

Fantasy 5 drawings happen twice a day.

Sarasota is on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
