A stop at a Florida grocery store led to a sizable prize for one lucky lottery player.

The player hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning $127,068.38 in the evening drawing Saturday, April 19, according to the Florida Lottery.

The ticket, sold at a Save A Lot supermarket in Fort Pierce, matched all five numbers. The odds of snagging the grand prize are 1-in-376,992, the lottery’s website says.

The winning Fantasy 5 numbers drawn Saturday evening were 9-11-17-21-34, results show. Records show the winning ticket remained unclaimed as of Monday, April 21.

No winning ticket was sold in the game’s midday drawing.

Winners in Florida have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the Florida Lottery said.

Fort Pierce is about a 20-mile drive northeast from Port St. Lucie.

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.
