Lucky Oakland County guy wins a big in fantasy 5 lottery game
After two jackpot winning tickets were recently sold for a Fantasy 5 drawing, an Oakland County man couldn't help but laugh when he realized he'd have to split the prize with himself.
The 67-year-old man, who chose to remain anonymous, inadvertently bought two identical tickets for the Feb. 6 drawing, according to the Michigan Lottery.
Each ticket matched the winning numbers drawn 4, 10, 12, 20, 30 for a split of the $240,338 jackpot.
"Every week I purchase a multi-draw Fantasy 5 ticket with the same set of numbers I have been playing for four years,” the man told the Michigan Lottery.
"I was going out of town, so I bought a muti-draw ticket to cover the drawings while I was gone.
There was some overlap on the drawings of the new ticket I had purchased and the multi-draw ticket I had purchased a few days prior.
