A lucky Georgia lottery player has a million new reasons to smile.

Someone in Savannah hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning $1,297,317 after matching all five numbers in the Feb. 10 drawing, the Georgia Lottery said.

The player bought the lucky ticket at a BP gas station on Abercorn Street in Savannah, beating odds of 1-in-850,668 to win the game’s top prize, according to the lottery.

The winning numbers Monday, Feb. 10, were 03-04-26-29-34, results show.

Additional information wasn’t immediately available.

It’s the latest in a string of recent lottery wins for the Peach State. A Powerball player in Roswell netted a $100,000 prize in the Feb. 8 drawing, and another player won $50,000 on a ticket sold in Norcross.

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