A group of neighbors who have been playing the Lottery together for five years won a $110,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery!
The eight-person David K lottery club matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the April 15 drawing to win the big prize: 10-16-18-25-39. They bought the winning ticket at the Marathon gas station, located at 6800 Highland Road in Waterford.

“We are all neighbors and have been playing the Lottery together for five years,” said the club’s representative, Gary Allen. “We have a lottery club group chat, so every time I buy our tickets, I send a photo of the tickets in the group chat and keep everyone informed.
“I checked the Fantasy 5 ticket by scanning it on the Lottery app early one morning, and when $110,000 came up on the screen with confetti, it sure woke me right up! I took a screenshot and sent it in our group chat. Within minutes, my phone was going crazy with everyone responding saying they didn’t believe me.
“Playing together as a club has been a lot of fun, and winning together is even better!”
The David K lottery club recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim their big prize. Each member received about $13,750 before tax withholdings. The club members plan to use their winnings to pay bills, complete home improvements, take a vacation, and build a pole barn.
