A Florida Lottery player has a million new reasons to smile.

The lucky player hit the jackpot, winning $1.5 million in the Florida Lotto drawing Saturday, March 15, the Florida Lottery said. The winning ticket, sold at a Mobil gas station in Panama City Beach, matched all six numbers.

The winning numbers were 12-18-29-30-35-53, results show.

The lucky player beat odds of 1-in-22,957,480 to snag the grand prize, according to the Florida Lottery. The ticket remained unclaimed as of Monday, March 17.

Additional information wasn’t immediately available.

Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, lottery officials said.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
