The 59-year-old revealed his plans to travel and invest with the money that he won. However, what intrigued many is how he came up with the numbers. He :
“I play Fantasy 5 once the jackpot creeps up a bit. I used to always play easy picks, but then I started studying the numbers and playing what came out the most, and it worked!”
One play in the game costs $1 and an additional $1 for another play. The Fantasy 5 jackpot starts at $100,000 and goes up as days pass with no winners.
