Husband Wins $2.39 Million Lottery Prize with Unusual Numbers: 6-6-6
A Michigan man recently won millions playing an unusual set of numbers on his lottery ticket.
The Shiawassee County resident used the numbers 6-6-6 — often seen as satanic because of connotations in the Bible — and won $2.39 million from the Michigan Lottery's Jackpot Slots Millionaire's Fast Cash game, according to a statement by the company.
'I played 6-6-6 on a couple of Daily 3 tickets and won big,' the man, who chose to remain anonymous, said in the statement.
He purchased the ticket at King's Corner Market in Owosso, and his win broke the record for being the largest prize ever on the Fast Cash games.

'As soon as the clerk handed me the tickets, I ran my eyes over them to see if I had won anything. I was absolutely shocked to see that I had hit the jackpot for $2.39 million!' the lottery player recalled.
'We started celebrating in the store and then I got to make the best phone call I've ever made to my family and friends to tell them the news!" the man said. "Everyone has been so happy for me and my wife!'
Rodney Stokoszynski of Wayne County held the previous record for his November 2019 Fast Cash progressive win of $1.84 million.

In addition to the record-breaking win, the new drawing is making headlines for a very different reason.
The numbers 6-6-6 are known biblically as a reference to the 'number of the beast' and are closely associated with the Antichrist or Satan in chapter 13, verse 18 of the Book of Revelation.
The winning player hasn't said exactly what he chose those numbers.
Fast Cash games — which include nearly a dozen options — feed into one jackpot and grow each time a ticket is purchased.
