Local Man Purchases Winning Ticket

June was a lucky month for a St. Clair County man as he changed his mind at the last minute and it led to the Lottery win of his lifetime as he brought home a $886,062 jackpot.

The winner says he went to Good Time Charlie’s in Capac to get food and play Club Keno. The 52-year-old winner who chose to remain anonymous bought two Club Keno tickets and won $10. He was going to use the winnings to purchase an instant ticket, but changed his mind and when he saw the Fast Cash jackpot was over $800,000, so he decided at the last minute to purchase a Jackpot Slots ticket instead.

The winner said, “When I got back to the table, I looked the ticket over and saw we had won the jackpot. I showed my brother the ticket and we started shouting with excitement! We couldn’t believe it and were in shock for a while.”

The winner says he plans to help his family with the winnings.
