    A lucky player purchased a Florida Lotto ticket worth tens of millions of dollars Wednesday night (February 7), according to WFLA .

    The winning numbers from Wednesday's drawing were 7, 12, 15, 18, 25 and 53. Someone's ticket matched all six numbers drawn and scored the jackpot: $45 million.

    Reporters said the winning Florida Lotto ticket was sold at Coastal Wine & Liquor located at 6706 US Highway 19 in New Port Richey.

    The $45 million-winning ticketholder can claim their prize at the Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. No word on how much they could be taking home.

    The game's jackpot will now reset to $1 million. Florida Lotto drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday nights at 11:15 p.m. EST. Players can buy $2 tickets until 10:55 p.m. EST on the night of the drawing.

    Last year, there was someone who purchased a Florida Lotto ticket worth $44 million , but the massive prize was never claimed.

    The $45 million prize winner isn't the only one who won life-changing amounts of money this year. Several Floridians took home major prizes after winning lottery games. Most of these wins came from scratch-off games, which usually offer prizes of $1 million among other cash prizes.

    Then, there's the historic $1.6 billion Mega Millions winner who claimed their prize using an out-of-the-box method .
