A Georgia lottery player tested their luck — and netted a top prize.

Someone hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning $150,000 in the drawing Wednesday, May 28, the Georgia Lottery’s website says.

The winning ticket, sold at a Publix Super Market in Sandy Springs, matched all five numbers, officials confirmed.

The winner has not yet come forward as of May 29, according to lottery officials.

The winning Fantasy 5 numbers were 3-28-31-35-36, results show. The odds of snagging the jackpot prize are 1-in-850,668, according to the lottery’s website.

It’s the latest big lottery win for the Peach State, coming a week after an Instant Ca$h scratcher game sold in Chickamauga netted a jackpot prize worth $1 million, McClatchy News reported.

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

Sandy Springs is about a 20-mile drive north from downtown Atlanta.

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.
