Check your numbers. A South Florida lottery player is holding a ticket worth $50,000.

One of the two winning Fantasy 5 tickets for the Monday, March 2, midday drawing was sold at Supermercados El Bodegon, located at 8022 W. Sample Road in Margate, according to Florida Lottery results.

The winning numbers were 2-5-7-16-22.

Fantasy 5 players have the option to choose their own five-digit combination of numbers ranging from one to 36 or have a computer do so. The Margate winner chose their own combination and correctly guessed the five winning numbers.

The other $50,000 midday winner used the quick pick option when buying the ticket at a Publix supermarket in Port Charlotte.

Fantasy 5 drawings happen twice a day. There were no winners in the March 2 evening drawing.

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.
