A trip to the butcher shop paid off big for one Florida lottery player.

The Fantasy 5 player matched all five numbers in the evening drawing Monday, Jan. 20, to win the $107,692.76 jackpot, according to the Florida Lottery.

They purchased the winning ticket at the El Vecino Meat Market in Tampa, beating odds of 1 in 376,992 to win the top prize, officials said.

The winning numbers in the evening drawing were 4-8-25-28-32, results show.

Another player netted a Fantasy 5 jackpot worth $51,553.31 in the midday drawing Monday, according to the Florida Lottery. That ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Cutler Bay in the Miami metropolitan area.

Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets, lottery officials said.

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.
