(WWJ) – An Oakland County man says he "couldn't help but laugh" when he found out he won a massive Michigan Lottery jackpot – twice.
Lottery officials say the man, who chose to remain anonymous, inadvertently bought two identical tickets for the Feb. 6 Fantasy 5 drawing.
The 67-year-old man said he played the same set numbers he does every week, but as he was going out of town, he bought a multi-draw ticket to cover the drawings while he was away. He eventually bought another ticket that overlapped with the Feb. 6 drawing.
Lo and behold, his numbers finally hit – 04-10-12-20-30 – giving him two prizes of $120,169 each.
"I logged into my Lottery account after the drawing to check my tickets and I couldn't believe it when I saw a $240,338 prize pending," he told MichiganLottery.com. "When I realized that I had won on one of the drawings both tickets covered… I couldn't help but laugh!"
Lottery officials say the man recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize and plans to use his winnings to help pay for his son's education and then save the remainder.
