TOPEKA, KAN. – Louis V. Kronawitter, Jr. is an avid Kansas Lottery player, who has always dreamed of winning a big lottery prize.  That dream turned into a reality when the Shawnee resident won a $22,000 top prize on a free 2by2 Quick Pick ticket!

2by2 is a daily game that offers eight ways to win and a top prize of $22,000.  To win the $22,000 top prize, Kronawitter matched both Red numbers 17 and 24 and both White numbers 10 and 13 in the January 25 2by2 drawing.

TOPEKA, KAN. – Tuesday morning, her husband Robert yelled, “Barb, come here!”

“The way he yelled it, it scared me to death,” said Barb Schwartz. “I thought he was having a heart attack!”

Nothing like that, thank goodness. It wasn’t a cry for help; it was a cry of joy! Robert Schwartz was celebrating the $22,000 top prize he won in Monday’s 2by2 drawing. And to think…“I won it with a free ticket!” he said proudly.

NORTH DAKOTA (July 25, 2018) - John stopped by the North Dakota Lottery office this morning to claim his $22,000 2by2 jackpot win! John won the big prize by purchasing a 2by2 ticket with the $6 he won playing Mega Millions. Talk about luck! He used the $6 to buy six plays of 2by2 for the July 25, 2018 draw and it turned into $22,000!

TOPEKA, KAN. – Lee McNorton of Olathe is becoming a regular visitor to Topeka. In 2016, he won a $15,000 shopping spree at Sears in our Holiday Dash second chance promotion. Now, less than two years later, he’s back in Topeka with a $22,000 2by2 win after matching both Red ball and White ball numbers in the July 14 drawing!

“I’m happy to make the trip to Topeka any time,” said McNorton with a big smile. “We’ve been very lucky lately, and it’s been a real blessing. We’re definitely going to keep playing!”

TOPEKA, KAN. – Gary Shipley, 67, of Hoxie is a man who stays the course. Case in point – he’s been playing the same four numbers in every 2by2 drawing for four or five years.

“My thought was that eventually they have to get hit. I might be 130 years old before that happens, but they’re going to get hit,” Shipley said with a laugh.
