Check your numbers closely: A lottery player in Broward County has a lot to celebrate after winning a Fantasy 5 jackpot prize worth over $60,000.

The winner bought their Fantasy 5 ticket for the Wednesday, April 15, midday drawing at the Stop & Save convenience store at 480 SW Eighth Ave. in Hallandale Beach, according to Florida Lottery records.

The winning numbers were 1-5-20-26-36, and the lucky ticket was worth $60,693.35. The winner beat the 1-in-376,992 odds of matching all five numbers.

It was the second Fantasy 5 jackpot ticket sold in Broward this month: A ticket that won over $40,000 in the April 3 evening drawing was purchased at a gas station in Pembroke Pines.

Fantasy 5 drawings happen twice a day. No one won the April 15 evening drawing.
