As of  Wednesday afternoon, officials with the Florida Lottery said no one had claimed the $244.468.47 winning Fantasy 5 ticket that was purchased April 9, 2010, at the State Line O’Yes Lotto at 11331 Highway 97.

The Florida Lottery allows winners 180 days to claim their prize; the April 9 winning ticket will expire October 6 at which time the $244.468.47 will be split with 80 percent going to the Education Trust Fund and the remaining 20 percent returned to the prize pool.

Lottery officials said the ticket was a “Quick Pick” with numbers randomly chosen by the lottery machine. Only one ticket matched the winning numbers:  13-21-25-28-36.

There were 287 tickets on April 9 with four matching numbers worth $137 each. There were 9,650 tickets matching three numbers that were worth $11 each, and 100,219  had two numbers for a free Quick Pick ticket.
