Lottery player wins nearly $105,000 at a Florida gas station. Here’s where
A Florida lottery player hit the jackpot — but might not know it yet.
The player bought a Fantasy 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the March 23 evening drawing, making it worth nearly $105,000, results show.
The winning numbers: 5-7-27-28-32.
The ticket was sold in Sarasota, a roughly 60-mile drive south from Tampa. It came from a Texaco gas station on Fruitville Road, the Florida Lottery said on its website and in a news release.
The Fantasy 5 game offers tickets starting at $1. The lucky player won big on a Quick Pick ticket, meaning a lottery machine randomly selected at least some of the numbers. To score the game’s top prize, a player must match all five numbers picked in a drawing.
The Sarasota player — who won $104,774.73 — hadn’t claimed their prize as of 2:45 p.m. March 24. In Florida, the winners of drawing games have about six months to cash in, rules show.
