“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.
