Lottery ticket worth over $100,000 sold at a Florida Walmart. Here’s where
A lottery player is set to take home a big windfall after hitting the jackpot in Florida.
The player bought a Fantasy 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the Sept. 2 evening drawing, making it worth more than $100,000, results show.
The winning numbers: 16-21-23-24-26.
The lucky ticket — worth $106,064.64 — was sold in the state’s Panhandle. It came from the Walmart store on Pine Forest Road in Pensacola, the Florida Lottery wrote on its website and in a news release.
As of Sept. 3, no one had come forward to claim the prize. Florida drawing game winners have about six months to cash in, according to game rules.
The big win came during a lucky Labor Day weekend in Florida. Two other Fantasy 5 tickets sold in the state were worth six figures, McClatchy News reported.
