“I was checking my ticket that night after the drawing,” said Sancrant. “When I saw I had matched all five numbers, I started shouting in excitement. My wife came running because she thought something was wrong. I just couldn’t believe it, especially after already winning a Fantasy 5 jackpot earlier this year.”
Sancrant was one of the three Fantasy 5 jackpot winners on April 28. The three winners split a $123,177 jackpot. Each winner received $41,059.
Sancrant visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to do some home renovations.
