A Florida lottery player is getting richer after buying a ticket worth more than $100,000.

The person tried their luck on a Fantasy 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the drawing late Monday, July 15, according to results posted on the Florida Lottery website.

The winning numbers: 7-11-25-31-32.

The lucky ticket was sold at the Publix grocery store at 13178 North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. The player used the Quick Pick option, meaning a lottery machine randomly chose at least some of the ticket numbers, lottery officials wrote online and in a news release.

The winner scored the prize on a “free ticket,” won after the player bought another ticket for the game.

“Players win cash prizes or a free Quick Pick ticket by matching two, three, or four of the numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played,” the Florida Lottery wrote in a past news release.

As of midday July 16, the lottery’s website showed no one had claimed the prize worth $110,861.58. Florida gives lucky ticket holders about six months to cash in on drawing game prizes.

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.
