A Florida lottery player is set to get much richer — but may not know it yet.

The player bought a Jackpot Triple Play ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the July 29 drawing, making it worth $500,000, results show.

The winning numbers: 4-23-30-31-33-42.

The lucky ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Port Orange, near Daytona Beach and a roughly 55-mile drive northeast from Orlando. The winner scored their prize on a free ticket, which can be won after buying another ticket for the game, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.

Jackpot Triple Play is a drawing game that offers tickets starting at $1. To hit the jackpot, a winner’s ticket must match all six numbers picked in a drawing, rules show.

As of early July 30, lottery officials said no one had claimed the half-million dollar prize. In Florida, jackpot winners have about six months to cash in.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
