A winning lottery ticket worth $12,779.67 was recently sold at the Winn-Dixie located at 15912 E Highway 40 in Silver Springs.
The ticket matched all five numbers in the Florida Lottery's Fantasy 5 midday drawing on October 29, 2025.
As of Friday morning, the prize remains unclaimed.
Interestingly, another winning ticket from the same drawing was sold just 20 miles east at a gas station along W State Road 40 in Pierson, Volusia County.
That ticket also remains unclaimed.
The winning numbers for the October 29 midday drawing were 7, 16, 27, 29, and 34.
In total, four tickets matched all five numbers, each earning the $12,779.67 prize.
Two of these prizes have been claimed, while the Silver Springs and Pierson tickets are still awaiting their winners.
The Fantasy 5 game offers players the chance to win substantial prizes by selecting five numbers from 1 to 36.
Drawings occur twice daily, at 1:05 p.m. and 11:15 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased until 12:45 p.m. for the midday drawing and until 10:55 p.m. for the evening drawing.
Winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
However, if they opt for the cash option, they must claim within 60 days.
Residents and visitors in the Silver Springs area are encouraged to check their tickets promptly.
Unclaimed prizes eventually contribute to the state's educational fund, but it's always preferable for winners to enjoy their well-deserved rewards.
