Winning lottery ticket worth $120,000 sold in Coral Springs remains unclaimed

A lottery player won a six-figure prize with a ticket purchased at a Publix supermarket in Coral Springs but hasn’t come forward to claim the jackpot.

The winner bought their Fantasy 5 ticket for the Friday, May 8, evening drawing at the Publix at 1400 Coral Ridge Drive, according to Florida Lottery records.

The winning numbers were 3-20-24-29-36, and the lucky ticket was worth $120,949.91. The winner beat the 1-in-376,992 odds of matching all five numbers.

Ten days later, the prize remained unclaimed.

There’s still plenty of time for the Coral Springs ticketholder to come forward, though, as the Florida Lottery gives winners about six months to cash in.
