Right now, as we speak – over $500,000 in fantasy 5 winnings is just waiting to be claimed. It was drawn on Saturday January 3rd. It is the highest winning in Belize's history for Fantasy 5. Now, for most of you, if you won that much money, you wouldn't hesitate to claim it. But for others that's THE reason why they would re-consider showing up to collect it – because it is such a hefty amount. We spoke with Public Relations Officer Karil Wallace today about this hovering security issue for winners.

"They haven't come in as yet but we're open for them to come in and bring their ticket and claim their prize. We know that a lot of people may be sceptical of trying to not want to be on TV show their faces. We at fantasy 5 we acknowledge people safety, if they want to show their face, or not show their face, we can try to arrange something with the media that their safety is the number one thing."

The winner will walk away with $432,650 after tax is deducted. Winners must collect their prize before 90 days. The winning numbers for Saturday's draw are 30, 07, 27, 10, 13 and the free letter is O as in Orange.
