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

The player bought a Fantasy 5 ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Sept. 16 evening drawing, making it worth more than $103,000, results show.

The winning numbers: 5-9-10-19-27.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Publix grocery store in West Melbourne, a roughly 70-mile drive southeast from Orlando. While there, the winner 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.

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

As of early Sept. 17, no one had claimed the prize, which totaled $103,698.72. 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.
