“I like the Fast Cash games because you don’t have anything to scratch,” said the 29-year-old player. “I bought a couple tickets and tucked them away. Later that day, I remembered I had bought them and checked them.
“When I saw I was holding a jackpot winner, my eyes got huge! I called my family right away to tell them the good news and then sent them all a picture of the ticket.
“Winning is an incredible feeling, I just still can’t believe it happened to me!”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and then save the remainder.
