Salisbury player Kenny G doubled down on his lucky numbers for big win
Through the years, the Salisbury player said he’s had luck playing the same numbers on multiple tickets for Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawings.
Kenny G put that to the test July 24 when he bought two separate Pick 5 straight tickets with the same combination, betting that 32821 would be the winning number. And that turned out to be his lucky evening.
He made a stop at one of his usual Lottery spots, the Salisbury Quick Stop located at 2513 North Salisbury Blvd. While at home later that evening, he checked the Lottery app on his phone for the winning numbers, and was excited to see his numbers 32821 had come out straight, giving him a $100,000 win — $50,000 for each ticket.
He immediately called family and friends and shared the great news. Kenny G has been married for nearly 40 years and has four children and three grandchildren, and said he plans to use his winnings to take care of family and home. He works as a legal processor and enjoys playing poker in his free time.
Salisbury Quick Stop will receive a $1,000 bonus as the retailer that sold the two top-prize winning Pick 5 tickets.
