Fantasy 5 Lottery Ticket Worth $111K Sold at Walmart in Naples, FL

It’s been a few lucky days for Floridians who love to play the lottery. 

According to Florida Lottery, the agency created to enable state residents to “benefit from significant additional money for education while playing lottery games,” a fortunate player scored a prize worth over $100,000 on a Fantasy 5 game ticket. 

The player, who managed to match all the numbers picked during the evening draw on Tuesday, July 23, won exactly $111,366.88. 

Quick Pick Ticket Jackpot 

The lottery with a mission to “maximize revenues in a manner consistent with the dignity of the state and the welfare of its citizens” announced that the winning numbers (1-7-19-23-24) were marked on a ticket that was sold in Naples, approximately 165 miles south from Tampa. 

According to the lottery’s news release, the player purchased the ticket from the Walmart Neighborhood Market located on Airport Pulling Road North, the Florida Lottery wrote in a news release. 

The winner hit the jackpot on a Quick Pick ticket. This means that a lottery machine was responsible for randomly choosing at least some of the numbers. 

Even more, the ticket was a “free” one as it was received after the player had purchased a different Fantasy 5 ticket.

As previously explained by lottery officials, players can win cash prizes or free Quick Pick tickets when they match between two and four of the numbers drawn in an official drawing for the date played. 

As of July 24, the Florida Lottery’s website did not disclose whether the prize had been claimed by the lucky winner. The person has roughly half a year to cash in the money.

Three Fantasy 5 Jackpot Winners Over the Weekend 

The popular Fantasy 5 game attracted three jackpot winners on Sunday, July 21.

The most generous win came from a ticket that was purchased at a Coconut Creek Walmart, according to Lottery officials. 

A shopper at Lake Mary Publix and a West Palm Beach gas station customer split the midday draw jackpot on Sunday. 

Each ticket was worth $26,270. The Sunday night draw ticket marked with the winning numbers 5-6-12-15 -22 worth $101,996 was purchased at the Walmart located at 5569 W. Hillsboro Blvd and can be redeemed at any Florida Lottery district office, including 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes and 4360 Forest Hill Blvd. in Palm Spring.
