A stop at a Florida grocery store led to a big lottery win for one lucky player.

The winner spent $1 playing Fantasy 5 and hit the jackpot, winning $115,373.32 in the evening drawing Thursday, April 10, according to the Florida Lottery.

The ticket, sold at a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Dundee, matched all five numbers. The lucky player beat odds of 1 in 376,992 to win the top prize, the lottery’s website says.

The winning numbers drawn Thursday evening were 15-23-25-27-34, the Florida Lottery said. There were no jackpot winners in the game’s midday drawing.

The ticket was unclaimed as of April 11, officials said.

Winners in Florida have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes, according to the lottery’s website. Players are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket.

Dundee is about a 40-mile drive southwest from downtown Orlando.

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.
