“I bought two Fast Cash tickets while I was at the store, a Super Lucky 7′s ticket and a Doubler Wild Time Progressive ticket,” said the player. “I looked over the Wild Time ticket first and when I saw the jackpot amount on top of the ticket was back down to $10,000, I thought: ‘Why did I even try?’
“I started looking the Super Lucky 7′s ticket over and noticed the jackpot amount was still $299,033 on this ticket. I couldn’t believe that someone had won the jackpot in the short time between my two tickets printing.
“When I finished looking the ticket over realized I was the jackpot winner, I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that I realized I not only won the jackpot, but also an additional $250,000. I was so excited I felt like I couldn’t breathe!”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings he plans to purchase a new car and then save the remainder.
