“I play Fast Cash a lot and I bought a ticket as soon as I got to the bar,” said Conley. “I saw the three jackpot symbols right away and I went into shock. A few people at the bar scanned the ticket on the Lottery app to confirm I really did win, and the owner confirmed it too. Once everyone there knew I won, let’s just say I quickly became popular! Everyone was excited for me.”
Conley, 84, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the prize. He plans to save his winnings.
“Winning has me feeling thrilled, nervous, happy, and everything in between,” said Conley.
