    A Fantasy 5 player in Florida tried their luck and snagged a six-figure prize.

    Someone in Leesburg won $103,002.15 after matching all five numbers in the evening drawing Sunday, Aug. 18, according to the Florida Lottery.

    The lucky ticket was sold at the Publix grocery store on U.S. Highway 27, officials said.

    The winning numbers Sunday were 14-18-24-28-34, results show.

    The lucky winner beat odds of 1 in 376,992 to win the game’s top prize. There were no jackpot winners in the midday drawing, results show.

    The big win comes nearly a week after someone in Sarasota won $108,761.33 in the Fantasy 5 evening drawing on Aug. 12, McClatchy News reported. That ticket was sold at a Shell gas station.

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

    Leesburg is about a 50-mile drive northwest from Orlando.

    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.
