The Hoosier Lottery has turned another man’s life around. After playing the lottery’s $5 Lighting Cash Fast Play game, Dave Click, a resident of Peru, Indiana, won the $588,054 jackpot. Click bought the ticket at Peru Pantry, a shop located at 286 W. Main Street in Miami County. At first, he couldn’t believe his luck when he saw 22 lightning bolts. When he confirmed that he was indeed the winner, Click immediately called his wife. According to the Hoosier Lottery, Click’s wife was half asleep when he called it. At first, she thought that her husband was trying to pull a prank. Click had to underscore that he was indeed a lottery winner to make his wife take his claim seriously.
