A Washington man is buying the car of his dreams after winning over $400,000 from a Hit 5 ticket.

The Spokane winner, Michael Young, said he plans on buying a Mazda RX-7 that he has had his eye on since he was young.

"I always picked a Mazda RX-7 in video games growing up. Now, I'll be able to fulfill that dream," he said.

The man said he usually plays Washington's Lottery with his mom and she was with him when he purchased the winning ticket. He also said that he bought a Hit 5 ticket because five is his favorite number.

Other people in Washington also benefit when someone wins a jackpot. The Safeway store on Francis Ave that sold the winning ticket will receive a $4,000 selling bonus.
