Fantasy 5 Lottery Ticket Worth $111K Sold at Walmart in Naples, FL
It’s been a few lucky days for Floridians who love to play the lottery.Â
According to Florida Lottery, the agency created to enable state residents to “benefit from significant additional money for education while playing lottery games,” a fortunate player scored a prize worth over $100,000 on a Fantasy 5 game ticket.Â
The player, who managed to match all the numbers picked during the evening draw on Tuesday, July 23, won exactly $111,366.88.Â
Quick Pick Ticket JackpotÂ
The lottery with a mission to “maximize revenues in a manner consistent with the dignity of the state and the welfare of its citizens” announced that the winning numbers (1-7-19-23-24) were marked on a ticket that was sold in Naples, approximately 165 miles south from Tampa.Â
According to the lottery’s news release, the player purchased the ticket from the Walmart Neighborhood Market located on Airport Pulling Road North, the Florida Lottery wrote in a news release.Â
The winner hit the jackpot on a Quick Pick ticket. This means that a lottery machine was responsible for randomly choosing at least some of the numbers.Â
Even more, the ticket was a “free” one as it was received after the player had purchased a different Fantasy 5 ticket.
As previously explained by lottery officials, players can win cash prizes or free Quick Pick tickets when they match between two and four of the numbers drawn in an official drawing for the date played.Â
As of July 24, the Florida Lottery’s website did not disclose whether the prize had been claimed by the lucky winner. The person has roughly half a year to cash in the money.
