A Florida lottery player tried their luck with Fantasy 5 — and walked away with a life-changing win.

The lucky player hit the jackpot, winning $124,011.47 after matching five numbers in the evening drawing Friday, Feb. 7, according to the Florida Lottery.

They purchased the winning ticket at an Exxon Mobil station in Destin, beating odds of 1-in-376,992 to win the game’s grand prize, the lottery said.

The winning numbers drawn Friday evening were 10-11-12-14-32, results show. Another Fantasy 5 player won more than $58,000 in the midday drawing, according to the draw results.

They’re the latest in a string of recent lottery wins for the Sunshine State.

Someone won $1 million on a $1,000,000 a Year for Life Spectacular scratch-off game sold at a TravelCenters of America in Vero Beach, lottery officials announced Feb. 6.

The winning ticket remained unclaimed as of Feb. 7, the lottery told McClatchy News.

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

Destin is about a 160-mile drive west from Tallahassee.

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.
