The Fantasy 5 ticket worth $58,807.93 was bought at a Publix located at 2633 N. Dixie Hwy., the Florida Lottery confirmed in a news release on Thursday.

The deadline to claim the top prize is Aug. 12 at midnight.

The winning Fantasy 5 numbers for the Wednesday evening drawing were: 12-19-20-22-23

“While any Florida Lottery retailer can validate the winning ticket, the FANTASY 5 top prize must be claimed at a Florida Lottery District Office,” a news release from the Florida Lottery stated. “Players can obtain additional information by calling the Lottery’s Customer Service Department at (850) 487-7787 or visiting the Florida Lottery’s website at www.flalottery.com.”

Players can also download the Lottery’s mobile app to scan a ticket barcode to see if it’s a winner.

“FANTASY 5 is a pari-mutuel game in which players win the top prize by matching 5-of-5 winning numbers drawn in any order,” the news release stated. “Additionally, players win cash prizes or a free Quick Pick ticket by matching two, three, or four of the numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played. If there is no top prize winner, the money in the top prize pool rolls down and is shared among players who match 4-of-5 or 3-of-5 winning numbers.”
