$1 lottery ticket bought at Florida store wins big prize. Here’s where it was sold
A routine stop at a Florida convenience store just won a frugal lottery player enough money to buy a very expensive Jaguar or a bargain rate condo.
The mystery player paid $1 for the Fantasy 5 ticket featuring the numbers: 4-5-7-11-22, Florida Lottery officials said.
It matched all five numbers in the evening drawing on Feb. 13, lottery officials said.
The prize is $114,864.61.
It was purchased at the Murphy Express store on Cedar Radial Pass in Ocala, about an 80-mile drive northwest from Orlando.
Fantasy 5 is a game that lets players choose five numbers from 1 through 36 in hopes of matching what comes up in a drawing.
Odds of matching all five numbers in the game are 1 in 376,992.
Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes, the Florida Lottery says.
