Kansas Resident's Lucky Streak Continues with $22,004 Win
David Howell enjoys playing Keno so much he is known as "Keno Dave" among family and friends. The Wichita resident has been on a lucky streak lately, winning five 6-spot Keno cash prizes for a total of approximately $11,000. After today, he might also be known as "2by2 Dave." Howell matched both Red numbers 08 and 15 and both White numbers 05 and 13 in the August 6 2by2 drawing, winning a $22,000 top prize!
In addition to the $22,000 top prize, Howell also matched one Red number 08 and one White number 05, winning $3 on his $5 2by2 ticket. Plus, he matched one Red number on another play bringing his total winnings to $22,004!
"I play all lottery games every day," said Howell. "If you don't play, you can't win. I play so often, I teach other people how to play. Sometimes, I'll share a ticket with one of the store clerks. If we win, we split the prize. I think being generous brings you luck."
According to Howell, when he was at Lottery headquarters in Topeka last Monday to claim a Keno cash prize, he told Lottery officials he was going to be back with another big win.
"When I left, I said I was going to be back soon with a 2by2 prize," said Howell. "I just didn't think it was going to be this soon. Maybe my luck will continue and I'll be back again next Monday."
Howell, who has three children, plans to use part of his winnings to purchase textbooks for one of his daughters, who is attending Wichita State University this fall.
The winning ticket was purchased at Presto 1638, located at 2001 S. Oliver in Wichita. |

Two hundred and fifty-three Nebraska Lottery players have won the 2by2 top prize to date. Nehring is the second person in Nebraska to win a doubled top prize since the 2by2 Tuesday feature was launched in February 2008.

"Last Thursday, I won $130 playing 2by2, so I bought $50 worth of tickets for Friday's drawing," explained the winner. "I watch the news every night and knew right away I had won when they showed the winning numbers."
The next day, the winner had the rest of his 2by2 tickets checked and discovered he had also won 14 Free tickets in addition to his $22,000 prize.
"On one of the Free tickets I received for Saturday's drawing, I won $22,000," said the winner. "I couldn't believe it. Winning $22,000 in two days is unbelievable!"

Besides winning at the casino, the Overbrook resident has had good luck playing Kansas Lottery games before. In 2008, he claimed a $22,000 cash prize playing 2by2.
"2by2 seems to be my lucky game," said the winner. "I've definitely been blessed. Winning $44,000 came at a great time with this economy."
After paying tags and taxes on vehicles, the winner said the rest will go into a savings account.
The winning tickets were purchased at Overbrook Gas & Convenience, located at 403 E. 8th St. in Overbrook and Davenport Retail Liquor, located at 205 N. Topeka in Carbondale. |

Nervous Mayetta Couple Waits for Lottery Office to Open
William and Sandy Crites of Mayetta were very nervous sitting in the parking lot of Kansas Lottery headquarters at 7:45 this morning, waiting for the Claims Office to open.
"We were still trying to figure out if it was real or not!" said Sandy Crites. "We never win anything, and we never dreamed we would be coming to this office."
The couple didn't have to wait long to find out it was no dream. When they entered the Lottery office at 8:00, they found out they really had won $22,000 playing 2by2. Their Quick Pick ticket for the Saturday, May 14, drawing matched both Red numbers 6 and 26 and both White numbers 17 and 20. William Crites says on Wednesdays and Saturdays he typically purchases one ticket each for 2by2, Powerball, Super Kansas Cash and Hot Lotto.
"We must have checked the numbers about a dozen times on the Internet," said William Crites. "This is pretty exciting." Sandy Crites says she is especially excited that she can cancel the call she made to the bank last week.
"I was going to see if we could borrow money to build a shed," she said. "Now we can pay for it ourselves, and maybe get a new lawn mower, too."
William Crites works for Wal-Mart in Topeka. Sandy Crites is employed by Wolfe's Camera Shop. The lucky 2by2 ticket was purchased at Gas & Shop 1, located at 1900 NW Topeka Blvd. in Topeka. |

North Dakota Man Claims Five Jackpots
Try telling Leonard Beston of Fort Yates that it is crazy to buy five tickets with the same number. He hit the 2by2 $22,000 jackpot five times for the May 24 draw to collect $110,000 by doing just that.
Leonard Beston remained calm as he described his winning experience and reasoning for choosing five plays for a shot at the jackpot. Leonard picks his numbers based on numbers he feels win most frequently, although he said the overall decision to buy a ticket is guided by a hunch. “You just gotta feel it. You know, you gotta have that hunch that you will win,” said Beston. He also mentioned that when he plays, he will frequently purchase five plays for the 2by2 game. “If you match three numbers, instead of winning $100, you win $500.” Beston plans to take care of a few bills and purchase a car with his winnings.

Lucky Kansas Winner Wins $22,000 on Free Ticket
 It’s a great story all the way around. Jerry Arbogast of Overland Park recently won a free ticket playing 2by2, and then he won $22,000 on that free ticket! “It was a very big shock,” said the 68-year-old winner.
Arbogast matched all four numbers in the 2by2 drawing on Wednesday, February 3. “I usually pick my own numbers, and I would not have picked those winning numbers,” said Arbogast. “It’s a good thing the free ticket was a Quick Pick so the computer picked the numbers.” “He was so nonchalant about it when he told me he’d won $22,000 that I didn’t believe him at first,” said Charlene Arbogast, the winner’s wife. “He wasn’t screaming or anything, so I thought he was pulling my leg.”
The Arbogasts plan to pay medical bills with part of their prize money. They’re also going to take a trip to Dallas to see their son, and will put the rest in the bank. “It’s a heck of a lot of money,” said the happy winners. Jerry Arbogast got his lucky 2by2 ticket at Food Mart, located at 7427 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park.

Kansas Man Wins $22,000-No Joke
 Everyone who knows Albert Griffin Jr. realizes he likes to play 2by2 and Pick 3 every day. Thursday morning while at work, the Junction City resident joked with co-workers about winning a large prize. Unbeknownst to him, he actually had won a large prize. Griffin matched both Red numbers and both White numbers in the September 9 2by2 drawing, winning a $22,000 top prize.
“When I was joking around, I had no idea that I had a $22,000 winning ticket,” said Griffin. “Later that day, I checked my tickets on a Check-A-Ticket machine at a Kansas Lottery retailer and it read, ‘Sign back of ticket. Claim at Lottery.’ I couldn’t figure out what was going on, so I scanned my ticket again. When it read the same thing, I knew I must have won something big.” Griffin still didn’t realize how much he did win until a clerk at the store verified his win.
“When she scanned my ticket on their machine, she asked me if I knew how much I’d won,” said Griffin. “I told her I must have won $2,000. She looked at me and said, ‘No, you won $22,000!’” Even though Griffin was very excited about his win he kept it a secret for a couple of days. “I didn’t tell anyone until today,” said Griffin. “I called my brother Keith this morning to see if he’d like to make the trip to Topeka with me this afternoon. His reply was, ‘Why, did you win the Lottery?’ And I said, ‘Yes, I did!”
Griffin, who is single, plans to pay bills with his prize money. “I knew if I kept at it, I’d win,” said Griffin. “I’m too optimistic to not win.” The winning ticket was purchased at Handy’s 5, located at 1101 Whitney in Junction City.

Lady Luck Strikes Twice for North Dakota Lottery Player
When David Liuska (Loo-ESS-ka) of rural Wing, North Dakota, purchased
another 2by2 multi-draw ticket, he just wanted to be sure he was included in every draw
and now David is the lucky winner of TWO - $22,000 2BY2 jackpots – that’s $44,000!
Because David lives in the country and doesn’t get to a lottery retailer every day, he usually purchases multi-draw tickets. “That way I know that my numbers are in every draw,” he said. “I’ve been sticking with the same numbers since the game came out and once in a while I will do a quick pick along with it.” His lucky moment came when he decided to get another multi-draw ticket, using the same set of numbers, just because he was in town running errands. The tickets, both with the same numbers, over-lapped for the October 3rd draw, which turned out to be David’s stroke of luck.
“I knew I was getting close to finishing the first ticket, so I stopped to buy another one. When I won, I had no idea I won $44,000 – I thought it was $22,000 – what a nice deal that was,” said David. David’s career is in farming and the winnings will be put to good use paying off a few farming expenses. The 2by2 winning jackpot tickets were purchased in two locations: Cenex located in Sterling, and Lander’s Conoco located in Bismarck. |

“I play 2by2 once or twice a week,” Whaley said. “The most I had won before this was $100, and I thought that was pretty good.”
Whaley says he may spend part of his $20,000 prize on a honeymoon to Las Vegas . He and his fiancé haven't set a date yet, but expect to marry next spring. Whaley says he will also use the money to pay a few bills and perhaps buy a Jacuzzi. |
