A Florida lottery player tried their luck — and it paid off with a life-changing win.

Someone won $109,942.12 after matching all five numbers in the Fantasy 5 evening drawing Tuesday, Nov. 19, according to the Florida Lottery.

The lucky ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Melbourne, lottery officials said. The player beat odds of 1 in 376,992 to win the game’s top prize.

The winning numbers Tuesday were 4-7-9-26-29, results show.

No one won the jackpot in the midday drawing.

Winners have 180 days from the draw day to claim their prize, and players are encouraged to check and sign their tickets, the Florida Lottery said.

Melbourne is about a 70-mile drive southeast 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.

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.
