A Michigan man's plan to keep playing the same five numbers finally paid off, according to the Michigan Lottery.
Kevin Hartmann from Tecumseh won $110,000 by playing the Michigan Lottery's Fantasy 5 Double Play game, the lottery said Thursday. He bought the winning ticket at Jerry's Express in Tecumseh.
"I was bowling when I checked the Fantasy 5 results," Hartmann told the lottery. "I was a little distracted, but knew I had three of the five numbers. When I got home, I grabbed my ticket and checked it, and when I saw I matched five numbers, my jaw dropped!"
He matched the five numbers in the Dec. 27 drawing, which were: 1, 8, 18, 20, and 26.
"I have played these same numbers regularly for a while," Hartmann told the Lottery. "Actually, winning a jackpot with them is almost unbelievable."
Hartmann claimed the prize at Michigan Lottery headquarters on Thursday. He plans to pay bills with his winnings and save the rest, the Michigan Lottery said.
