Somebody in St. Cloud is walking around with a six-figure winning lottery ticket in their pocket, glove box, or junk drawer and apparently has no clue.
A Fantasy 5 Quick Pick ticket that matched all five numbers in Sunday night’s drawing was sold at the Winn-Dixie in St. Cloud, and it is worth exactly $108,870.45. The winning evening numbers were 6-12-20-21-30, and as of Monday, the prize was still listed as unclaimed.
According to the Florida Lottery winners report, the ticket was sold at Winn-Dixie #2238 at 4855 Irlo Bronson Highway in St. Cloud. The document shows the play as a Quick Pick and confirms the top prize amount of $108,870.45, with the status listed as “unclaimed at this time.”
Numbers, retailer and reporting
The Associated Press reported the Fantasy 5 evening numbers for Sunday as 6-12-20-21-30. Local coverage from WFTV notes that the matching Quick Pick ticket was sold at the St. Cloud Winn-Dixie, includes the store’s Irlo Bronson Highway address, and confirms that the prize had not yet been claimed.
How to claim the prize
For anyone who is now frantically checking old receipts, here is how the process works. Prizes of $599 and under can be cashed at authorized retailers. Winnings from $600 up to $249,999 must be claimed at a Florida Lottery district office or by mail, while prizes of $250,000 and above are handled through Lottery Headquarters. The Florida Lottery website provides claim forms, drop-box options, and detailed instructions on the steps winners need to follow.
Supermarket and convenience store Quick Picks routinely hit Fantasy 5 top prizes across Florida, and Winn-Dixie locations show up often on winners' lists. Recent coverage in the Miami Herald has highlighted similar supermarket wins, a reminder that life-changing tickets are regularly printed at the same places people grab milk and bread.
Florida law also shapes what the public gets to know about big winners. Statutes updated in recent years allow the names of players who win $250,000 or more to be shielded from public release for 90 days after they claim their prize, according to the Florida Senate. That safeguard does not apply to this Fantasy 5 payout level, but it is a sign the state has been rethinking how much attention to throw at newly minted millionaires.
If you think you might be the lucky St. Cloud shopper, lottery officials advise you to sign the back of the ticket immediately, store it somewhere safe, and contact your nearest Florida Lottery district office for instructions on what to do next. Until then, that $108,870.45 sits on the books as a mystery waiting to walk through the door.
