Winning Fantasy 5 ticket worth $121,000 sold at Coral Springs Publix remains unclaimed days after the Florida Lottery drawing
Coral Springs, Florida – A Florida Lottery Fantasy 5 ticket worth nearly $121,000 remains unclaimed after being sold at a Coral Springs Publix, leaving officials and residents wondering who the lucky winner might be. As of Monday afternoon, the prize had not yet been claimed, despite being tied to a single winning ticket from last week’s drawing.
The ticket was purchased at the Publix store located at 1400 Coral Ridge Drive in the Lakeview Shopping Center, according to Florida Lottery officials. The location has now become a point of interest for lottery watchers, as it was the only retailer connected to the winning entry.
The drawing took place on Friday, May 8, and the ticket matched all five winning numbers, making it the sole jackpot winner for that night’s Fantasy 5 game. The winning numbers drawn were 3, 20, 24, 29 and 36, as listed on the Florida Lottery website.
The total prize amounts to $120,949.91, though it is commonly rounded in public discussion to about $121,000. Despite the life-changing amount, the identity of the winner remains unknown, and no one has come forward to claim the prize so far.
Lottery officials have not released any information about the possible winner, and it is unclear whether the ticket holder is aware of the win. In many cases, winning tickets are misplaced, forgotten, or simply left unredeemed for a short period of time before being claimed.
The Fantasy 5 game is known for its daily drawings and relatively high odds compared to larger lottery games, making it popular among regular players across Florida. Wins like this, while not massive jackpots, often draw attention because they can go unclaimed for days or even weeks.
For now, the winning ticket remains in limbo, sitting somewhere between a simple receipt and a six-figure prize. Whether it is tucked in a wallet, left in a car, or forgotten in a drawer, the clock is ticking for the holder to step forward and claim their winnings.
