“I have been playing Lucky for Life for several years and I always play the same numbers,” Frederick said. “I checked the winning numbers online the morning after the drawing, and when I saw I’d won $25,000 a year for life, I shouted in excitement: ‘It’s about time!’”
Frederick chose to receive his winnings in a one-time payment of $390,000 instead of $25,000 payments for a minimum of 20 years. He plans to use his winnings to purchase a home.
“When I showed my wife how much we’d won, she also started hollering with excitement,” Frederick said. “I have been playing these numbers for years, and I am thrilled they finally paid off.”
Lucky for Life ticket prizes range from $3 to $1,000 per day for life. Drawings take place everyday at 10:38 p.m.
