Luck struck twice for a Mount Pleasant man who won a $110,000 Fantasy 5 Double Play prize a little more than a year after winning a $115,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot!
Kelly Ralston, 61, matched the Fantasy 5 Double Play numbers in the May 10 drawing to win a $110,000 prize: 02-03-07-22-28. He bought his winning ticket at Oil City EZ mart, located at 48 South Coleman Road in Mount Pleasant.
“I’ve continued to play Fantasy 5 since I won last year, but I never thought I would win big a second time,” said Ralston. “The morning after the drawing, I scanned my Fantasy 5 ticket on the Lottery app and was stunned when $110,000 came up on the screen. I still can’t believe I won again!
“I plan to keep playing and hopefully be back claiming a big prize for the third time!”
Ralston visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize. He plans to save his winnings for retirement and live comfortably.
“The first time I won, I used the money to buy a camper, help my family, and do things around my house, and now I plan to retire and live comfortably.”
Ralston claimed a $115,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot prize in May 2024 after matching all five Fantasy 5 numbers in the drawing on April 30, 2024: 04-07-29-33-36. That winning ticket was purchased at Borders Coner Store, located at 7024 East Pickard Road in Mount Pleasant.
