Jack’s Place owner Jasvir “Happy” Singh received his bonus money Friday for selling the winning lottery ticket for the $9.9 million Hoosier Lotto jackpot.

He has owned this location for about three years and owns retail locations in Salem and Madison as well. He does not have any specific plans for the bonus money but said he may use it to take his family to India next summer. 

Hoosier Lottery Executive Director Sarah Taylor thanked him for the years of loyal partnership with the Hoosier Lottery, not only at the Columbus store, but also his stores in Madison and Salem. “We are also so excited that the winners were all Hoosiers who live and work in the Columbus area and plan to stay,” said Taylor.
