LANSING, February 26, 2008 – One lucky winner didn’t sleep very well after discovering that his Fantasy 5 ticket was worth $100,000!

An anonymous Detroit man said he checked his winning numbers on the Lottery’s Web site and couldn’t wait to cash in his ticket.

He plans to use the prize money from the Feb. 24 win to pay bills. The lucky easy-pick ticket was purchased at Super K-Mart 4998, 17580 Frazho Rd., in Roseville.

In fiscal year 2007, the contribution to schools was $748.9 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed more than $14.3 billion to education in Michigan.
