December 21, 2008

Somebody who purchased Florida Lottery Fantasy 5 ticket at a North Escambia store is $123,754.79 richer thanks to the numbers 06-10-16-25-27.

The winning Fantasy 5 ticket for the Wednesday, December 18 drawing was sold at the State Line Gift Shop on Highway 97 at the Alabama-Florida state line.

The $247,509.58 top prize will split between the State Line Gift Shop winner and the holder of a ticket sold in Miami Beach. The retailers will receive a $500 bonus for selling the top prize winning tickets.

A store clerk says a man called the store wanting to know how to redeem the ticket. He was told to contact the lottery office in Pensacola. The clerk identified the man as Guy Victor, a store regular. She did not know where Victor lives, but she did say he often buys a lot of lottery tickets about once a week.

In Wednesday drawing, 383 players matched four numbers and each won $104.00. A total of 11,449 players matched three numbers and each won $9.50, and 111,141 players matched two numbers and each won a free Quick Pick ticket.
