Method pays off big with $75,000 lottery win for KCK man

Fred Singleton of Kansas City, Kansas, recently won $75,000 in the Kansas Lottery Power 10X game.

For Fred Singleton of Kansas City, Kansas, his steadfast method for buying lottery tickets has paid off with an electric $75,000 win.

Singleton typically purchases the same number of tickets when he makes a trip to the gas station, and this time one of them won the top prize in the Kansas Lottery’s new $10 Power 10X game.

“I almost always buy four $10 tickets at a time,” Singleton said of his routine. “And I’ll usually try out the new tickets and look on the lottery’s website to see which games have the most top prizes remaining.”

Singleton added that he’s been having a string of good luck on the Power 10X ticket that was released just a few weeks ago, and he only got luckier when he nabbed the top prize of $75,000.

“On the last of my four tickets, I started scratching from the bottom,” he said. “On the very first row I scratched, it said it won $1,000, and then I kept scratching and all but three rows had won a prize. Since the ticket ended up having a 5X multiplier, it ended up with the big win.”

Because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing was real, he had his son double-check the prize for him before calling the Kansas Lottery immediately to confirm the win.

The winner says the money will help him purchase a new vehicle he’s had his eye on, as well as pay off debt.

The winning ticket was sold at QuikTrip 239R at 555 N. 78th St. in Kansas City, Kansas. There are still two top prizes in the $10 Power 10X game, plus thousands in other prizes.

The last month has been a wild ride for Paul Johnson of Kansas City, Kansas.

Johnson, a letter carrier, delivered through a polar vortex and huge temperature swings as Kansas dove right into spring. His crazy month ended in a ray of sunshine, though, as Johnson is now $100,000 richer after hitting the top prize in the $10 $100,000 Crossword.

“I didn’t realize at first how much I had won,” Johnson said. “I was on my way to the office and I knew I had won something but didn’t know how much. It wasn’t until I was leaving for my route that I took a second look and counted how many words I had.”

Johnson told his supervisor about his good luck, and went to put the ticket in a safe place at his father’s house while he finished his route for the day.

“I’m not exactly sure what my long-term plans are with the winnings yet,” Johnson said. “The first thing I’m going to do is pay off any debt I have. It’s going to be awesome to be debt-free. Other than that, I’m not a super extravagant guy. Mostly I’m excited to share my good fortune with my family.”

The winning ticket was sold at Fast Stop 12 at 945 S. 55th St. in Kansas City, Kansas. There are still two top prizes left in the $10 $100,000 Crossword instant scratch game, plus thousands in other prizes.
