Presh Wright is an Army veteran and is retired after a long career with General Electric. For fun, he likes to play the Hoosier Lottery’s popular Draw game Daily 4.

He usually stops at the Marathon near his house in Fort Wayne to buy tickets and frequently plays his birth year, 1942. When he checked the winning numbers after one midday draw, he was excited to see he had matched all four numbers, although not in exact order, to win $25,000. “The winning numbers were 1-9-2-4,” said Presh. “I missed it by one number! But, I’m still happy to have hit the $25,000.”

Presh plans to use his winnings for a couple of home renovation projects.
