A Georgia lottery player tried their luck — and walked away with a top prize.

Someone hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning a whopping $842,915 in the drawing April 11, the Georgia Lottery said. The winning ticket, sold at a RaceTrac in Kennesaw, matched all five numbers.

Officials said the winner had not come forward as of Tuesday, April 15.

The winning numbers were 6-15-28-31-41, draw results show.

Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes, per the Georgia Lottery’s website. Players are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket.

Kennesaw is about a 30-mile drive northwest 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.
