$5,000 Welcome Bonus
A Macomb County man said winning a $400,017 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery couldn’t have happened at a better time.
The 32-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the winning Fantasy 5 numbers on Oct. 16 – 16-17-21-28-33 – to win the big prize. He bought his winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
“I like playing all of the draw games, and I always buy my tickets online,” said the player. “I saw an email from the Lottery about claiming a prize as I was leaving work, and figured I must have won big. I went home, ate dinner, relaxed for a bit, and then finally logged in to my account to see how much I’d won. When I saw $400,017 pending, I was so happy! This prize couldn’t have come at a better time.”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and then save the remainder.
