A lucky lottery player is holding a ticket worth a jackpot prize that was sold at a gas station in Florida.

Records show the Fantasy 5 ticket came from a Citgo convenience store in Edgewater, a city in the Daytona Beach metropolitan area that’s about a 60-mile drive northeast from Orlando.

The player defied the 1-in-376,992 odds to win a top prize of $100,660.10 in the Oct. 27 evening drawing, according to the Florida Lottery.

Fantasy 5 players can either choose their own combination of five numbers ranging from one to 36 or have a computer randomly generate them. This player chose their own numbers and matched all five to hit the jackpot, records show.

The winning combination was 1-4-13-29-30, according to the Florida Lottery.

Fantasy 5 drawings take place every day at midday and in the evening.

Edgewater is in Volusia County, which lies on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.

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.
