    Lottery ticket worth $112,000 sold at a Florida convenience store. Here’s where

    A lottery player hit the jackpot — and is set to take home a huge windfall in Florida.

    The player bought a Fantasy 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Oct. 1 evening drawing, making it worth more than $112,000, results show.

    The winning numbers: 7-10-17-28-29.

    Fantasy 5 game tickets start at $1, and the lucky player bought theirs in West Palm Beach , a roughly 70-mile drive north from Miami. It was sold at the Stop & Shop convenience store on Westgate Avenue, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.

    In the Sunshine State, lottery players have about six months to claim their prizes in drawing games. As of early Oct. 3, the winner of the $112,494.04 prize hadn’t come forward, lottery officials said.

    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.
