Sixteen, nineteen, twenty-three, twenty-six and twenty-nine… if you tuned in to Wednesday’s Lotto drawing you would recognize those numbers. And for thirty-two year old King’s Park resident and AC technician, Jaime Reyes, those five numbers banked him over seventy-eight thousand dollars in cash. Reyes normally spends eight dollars weekly in quick picks and this time he hit the lucky numbers. News Five caught up with Reyes as he went to collect his winnings today.

Jaime Reyes, Lotto Winner
“When I went to purchase my tickets I tell the clerk I want two quick pick. I give he ten dollars and when he gave me back the ticket it was only one. He was giving me six dollars change and he was wondering why he is giving me back six dollars. So I tell him it was two tickets I need. So he pull out the next one and I tell him that’s the winning ticket. So when he give me back and I checked it, it turns out last night it was the winning ticket.”
