A lottery player is holding a ticket worth nearly $115,000 that was sold at a gas station in Florida.
The Fantasy 5 ticket landed the top prize in the Aug. 29 evening drawing, according to the Florida Lottery.
It was sold at a Circle K in Ocala on State Road 200.
Players can either choose their own combination of five numbers ranging from 1 to 36 or have a computer select them, according to the Florida Lottery. This buyer opted to choose their own numbers and beat the 1-in-376,992 odds of matching all five to land a top prize of $114,289.
Those numbers were 16-21-23-24-36.
Drawings happen at midday and in the evening.
Another Fantasy 5 ticket that landed a nearly $115,000 prize in the previous evening’s drawing was sold at a Publix in South Florida , the Miami Herald reported.
Ocala is in north Florida, about an 80-mile drive northwest from Orlando.
