Player never doubted he would win Fantasy 5!

Fantasy 5The winner plays Fantasy 5 every day, using family birthdays as his lucky numbers. He has been playing the game since 2004 when it was first introduced, and he never doubted that he would win.

That day finally came on October 7, 2011 when the player won $110,000!  The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, looked online for the winning numbers after he returned from a trip with his wife. When he told her what he had found, she replied, “No way!”

Players have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The fortunate individual from Hale, knowing he would collect the prize money in 2012, took his family on an exciting vacation and bought a boat. He will put the rest of the money in savings.

The winning ticket was sold at Tenuta’s Foodlane located at 3515 Sashabaw Rd. in Waterford.
