A stop at a Sarasota gas station led a lottery player to a six-figure prize.

Someone won $108,384.37 after matching all five numbers in the Fantasy 5 evening drawing on Tuesday, Oct. 22, according to the Florida Lottery.

The lucky ticket was sold at Lakewood Ranch Mobil, located at 6290 Lake Osprey Dr. in Sarasota, officials said.

The winning numbers were 7-9-21-23-29, according to the Florida Lottery’s website. No one hit the jackpot in the midday drawing, results show.

Winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the backs of their tickets, according to the Florida Lottery.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
