One lucky Florida Lottery player had a pretty solid Saturday—walking away with a Fantasy 5 evening jackpot worth $126,700.

Even though the big national and state jackpots are still climbing—

• Powerball is now up to $130 million for Monday’s draw
• Florida Lotto is heading toward $19 million on Wednesday
  this winner didn’t need either of those to score big.

? Winning moment details

The lucky ticket matched 1, 10, 13, 16, and 18, and was bought at a Shell station in Nokomis (Sarasota County), not far from Bradenton.

? What happens next?

That jackpot ticket isn’t something you just cash anywhere. It needs to be claimed through a Florida Lottery district office or the main state office. Players usually have to complete the process in person, and appointments are optional but available.

Bottom line:
Even without hitting Powerball or Lotto, this draw proved one thing—a single Fantasy 5 ticket can still turn into a six-figure win overnight.
