Livingston County Man Wins Two $110,000 Fantasy 5 Double Play Prizes with Tickets Bought in Northern Michigan

Posted on July 13, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Paul Pattwell holding $110,000 x2 big checkA Livingston County man mistakenly purchased two Fantasy 5 tickets for the same drawing while he was vacationing in Northern Michigan and won two $110,000 Double Play prizes!

Paul Pattwell, of Pinckney, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the June 15 drawing to win the big prizes: 03-08-10-14-20. He bought one of his tickets at Krist Food Mart, located at 12969 US Highway 31 North in Charlevoix, and the other at Toski Sands Party Store, located at 2292 M 119 in Petoskey.

“I’ve been playing the same sets of Fantasy 5 numbers for years and I play them every day,” said Pattwell. “My wife and I were on a camping trip Up North, and I couldn’t remember if I had bought my Fantasy 5 ticket, so I stopped at the store and bought one.

“A few days after we got home from vacation, I pulled out over a week’s worth of tickets and started checking them. I recognized the June 15 Double Play winning numbers right away and was thrilled that I’d won $110,000! I called my wife and told her the big news.

“After I got off the phone with my wife, I started checking the rest of my tickets which is when I realized I had two tickets for the same drawing and won another $110,000 prize. I called my wife again and said: ‘You’re not going to believe this, but I won a second $110,000 prize!’ I couldn’t believe it.”

Pattwell, 68, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prizes. With his winnings, he plans to buy a new truck, spoil his grandkids, and then save the remainder.

Each Fantasy 5 play is only $1. For an additional $1 per play, EZmatch may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a chance to win up to $500 instantly. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $110,000 in the nightly Double Play drawing. Players may win prizes in the regular nightly drawing, the Double Play drawing, or both. Fantasy 5 players select five numbers from one to 39. Players who match all five Fantasy 5 numbers drawn win a jackpot that starts at $100,000.

Fantasy 5 drawings are held seven days a week at 7:29 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at a retailer or online at MichiganLottery.com until 7:08 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
