“I have been playing Fantasy 5 for a long time and I always play the same sets of numbers,” the winner said. “I was at the gas station, and I couldn’t remember if I’d purchased a ticket for the Fantasy 5 drawing that night, so I decided to purchase one to be safe.
He bought one of his winning tickets at an EZ Mart in Sheridan and the other at a Mobil gas station in Stanton.
“After the drawing, I was on the Michigan Lottery website checking the numbers and when I saw the two locations where winning tickets were sold, I knew I had to be the big winner. I checked my tickets and confirmed I had won, but I thought I’d won $55,000 on each. When I called the Lottery and they confirmed both tickets were $110,000 winners, a feeling of relief came over me,” he said.
The winner plans to complete home renovations and share the winnings with his family.
