71-Year-Old Man Is A 4-Time Lottery Winner And He's Sharing The Secret To His Winning Numbers

A Michigan man who is now a four-time lottery winner has mentioned how he selects the numbers he plays. 

The odds of winning a significant amount of money playing the lottery are extremely low. In fact, the odds are much greater that someone will throw away more money participating in state-sanctioned gambling than they would ever win.

However, despite the exceedingly small chance of winning a noteworthy amount of money, 71-year-old John Sancrant seems to have defied those odds, at least for the time being.

John stated that he's been a winner on four different occasions. His most recent time winning a large cash prize playing the lottery took place in late June, according to the Michigan Lottery.

On June 26, John won $105,000 when his selected numbers matched those in Michigan’s Fantasy 5’s game. It’s a game that John admits he plays on a regular basis. He added how he selects his numbers.

“I play Fantasy 5 regularly and always pick my numbers based on birth dates,” John told the Michigan Lottery.

John also stated that when he won this last time, he was eating dinner when he saw the winning numbers and instantly knew he was a winner, according to The Kansas City Star. 

“I didn’t even have to get the ticket to double check,” John said.

John has a Goal In Mind

This last jackpot of more than $100,000 was the biggest of his four winnings, with each dollar amount increasing. 

Despite winning the four times already and the low odds, John vows to continue playing. He also has a goal that he would like to hit.

“I have had pretty good luck playing the lottery,” John said. “This is the fourth big prize I have won, and they keep getting a little bigger each time. I’m hoping to be back here soon for millions!”
