A Florida lottery player scored a big prize — but might not know it yet.

The player bought a Fantasy 5 ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Sept. 8 evening drawing, making it worth more than $100,000.

The winning numbers: 5-10-11-27-33.

The lucky ticket was sold at the Circle K convenience store on Sunbeam Road in Jacksonville. The winner chose the Quick Pick option, meaning a lottery machine randomly selected at least some of their ticket numbers, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.

The Fantasy 5 game offers tickets starting at $1. To hit the jackpot, a player’s ticket must match all five numbers picked in a drawing, rules show.

As of early Sept. 9, no one had claimed the prize, which totaled $101,564.37. In Florida, the winners of drawing games have about six months to cash in, according to lottery officials.

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.
