    One Florida Lottery player just hit a top prize of nearly $110,000 with a ticket that came from a gas station.

    The lucky Fantasy 5 player bought the winning ticket at a RaceTrac convenience store in North Fort Myers, according to the Florida Lottery.

    The player beat 1-in-376,992 odds to match all five numbers and land the top prize of $106,609 in the Oct. 8 evening drawing, records show.

    The ticket buyer had the computer randomly generate five numbers, which can range from 1 to 36 in the game.

    The winning numbers were 5-8-9-16-31, according to the Florida Lottery.

    Fantasy 5 drawings happen at midday and in the evening.

    North Fort Myers is on Florida’s Gulf Coast, about a 40-mile drive north from Naples.

    Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
