Kevin Hartmann from Tecumseh won $110,000 by playing the Michigan Lottery's Fantasy 5 Double Play game, the lottery said Thursday. He bought the winning ticket at Jerry's Express in Tecumseh.

"I was bowling when I checked the Fantasy 5 results," Hartmann told the lottery. "I was a little distracted, but knew I had three of the five numbers. When I got home, I grabbed my ticket and checked it, and when I saw I matched five numbers, my jaw dropped!"

He matched the five numbers in the Dec. 27 drawing, which were: 1, 8, 18, 20, and 26. 

"I have played these same numbers regularly for a while," Hartmann told the Lottery. "Actually, winning a jackpot with them is almost unbelievable."
