The player bought a Jackpot Triple Play ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Aug. 15 drawing, making it worth $500,000, results show.
The winning numbers: 9-10-12-24-28-39.
The lucky ticket was sold at a Publix grocery store on Curry Ford Road in Orlando. The player opted for Quick Pick, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of their ticket numbers, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.
Jackpot Triple Play offers tickets starting at $1. To hit the jackpot, a player’s ticket must match all six numbers picked in a drawing.
As of early Aug. 18, the lucky ticket holder hadn’t claimed their prize. In Florida, the winners of drawing games have about six months to cash in, rules show.
