The man claimed his first $110,000 prize in September 2023 after matching all five Fantasy 5 Double Play numbers in the Aug. 31 drawing at a BP gas station, according to Michigan Lottery Connect.

“After winning $110,000 back in August, I switched up my Fantasy 5 numbers,” the player said, according to Michigan Lottery Connect. “I took my tickets to the store to check and replay them. The clerk scanned the tickets and handed me one back and said, ‘I think you won big!’ I thought, ‘There is no way, I can’t be that lucky.’ I looked up the winning numbers, and sure enough, I had won again! I couldn’t believe it. Winning is such a blessing!”

He also bought his second winning ticket at a BP gas station in Southfield, Mich. According to Michigan Lottery Connect, the player visited the Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize.

“The first time I won I was able to pay off all my debt, now I get to have some fun!” the man told the Michigan lottery. “I don’t have any special plans for the money yet, I plan to sit back and just look at it in my bank account for a while.”
