LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – An Allegan County man is on a lucky streak after winning two jackpot prizes from the Michigan Lottery within a month.
According to the Michigan Lottery, the 33-year-old player, who close to remain anonymous, purchased his winning Fast Cash ticket at Main Street Pub, located at 4514 West Main Street in Kalamazoo.
“I was at the bar and my friend told me I should buy a Fast Cash ticket since the jackpot was high and ‘someone was bound to win it soon,’” said the player. “I decided to purchase a few and looked them over right away.
“When I saw the three jackpot symbols on the same row, I immediately got out my phone to scan the ticket on the Lottery app. When I saw the amount come up on the screen, I turned to my friend and said: ‘You’re not going to believe this!’ I was speechless.”
The player visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He plans to invest his winnings.
“Winning this prize is life changing. It will allow me to do things that would not have been possible otherwise,” the player said.
The Allegan County man also won a $95,231 Club Keno The Jack prize April 20. He also bought that winning ticket at the Main Street Pub.
