Lottery wins are rampant these days and it seems everyday a new one is announced. With the economy the way it is right now it is no wonder that people are playing the lottery to try and ease the strain of their economic status. A Leesburg, Florida woman recently played the local lottery and won $200,000 which should ease her pocketbook.

Sara D. Skank recently played the Fantasy Five lottery in Florida and picked the numbers 07-16-31-35-36. She bought her ticket at a Publix store near her home and found she won the drawing worth $232,923.77.

Sara is a young seventy year old woman and plans to share her recent winnings with her family and friends as well as donate some to charity. Sara is no stranger to winning as she recently won $500 in another lottery, the Cash 3. Though I’m sure she would pick the $200,000 over the $500 win any day.

The Publix where Sara purchased her ticket earned $500 as a bonus for selling the winning ticket and the Fantasy 5 is now waiting for another winner. The next drawing for the Fantasy 5 will be held soon and maybe someone will be as lucky as Ms. Sara was.
