A happy man from Wayne County, Michigan, is rejoicing after winning a massive $110,000 (Rs 91,13098) Fantasy 5 Double Play lottery prize for the second time in six months.?
The 59-year-old winner, who requested anonymity, purchased the winning ticket for the February 11th drawing at a BP gas station on West 9 Mile Road in Southfield.
Interestingly, this is not his first experience with lottery luck. He earlier won the same jackpot amount in the Fantasy 5 Double Play drawing on August 31st, 2023, with the identical sequence of numbers (02-06-11-20-23).
"After winning $110,000 back in August, I switched up my Fantasy 5 numbers," the player was quoted as saying.?
"I took my tickets to the store to have them checked and replayed. The clerk scanned the tickets, returned one to me, and said, 'I think you won big!' I thought, 'There is no way, I can't be so lucky. I checked the winning numbers, and sure enough, I'd won again! I could not believe it. Winning is such a blessing."?
While considering how to spend his money, the winner expressed his delight at this great stroke of luck. After using the first award to pay off debt, he is now looking forward to the second triumph.
"The first time I won, I was able to pay off all of my debts; now I can have some fun! I don't have any special plans with the money just now; I intend to sit back and watch it accumulate in my bank account for a while," he stated.?
The player won his first $110,000 prize in September 2023 by matching all five Fantasy 5 Double Play numbers in the August 31 drawing: 09-15-28-30-37. The winning ticket was likewise purchased at the BP gas station, which is located at 19995 West 9 Mile Road in Southfield.?
