A Florida lottery player scored a big win — but might not know it yet.

The player bought a Fantasy 5 ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the April 3 evening drawing, making it worth more than $123,000, results show.

The winning numbers were: 2-12-17-23-30.

The player got richer in the Ocala area, a roughly 80-mile drive northwest from Orlando. The lucky ticket was sold at the Diamond Oil gas station on Southwest 91st Avenue, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.

Fantasy 5 is a drawing game that offers tickets starting at $1. The winner opted for Quick Pick, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of their ticket numbers. To hit the jackpot, a person’s ticket must match all five numbers picked in a drawing.

As of early April 4, no one had claimed the prize, which totaled $123,081.16. In Florida, drawing game winners have about six months to cash in, rules show.

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.
