An anonymous Lottery winner from Grand Blanc claimed a winning $110,000 Fantasy 5 ticket that was sold in October 2011. When asked why she waited so long to claim her prize, she cited tax concerns.

The winning ticket was sold by Hutchinson Food & Drug Inc. located at 6509 N. Saginaw St. in Flint, Michigan.

Over 95 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets is returned to the state in the form of contributions to the state School Aid Fund, prizes to players and commissions to retailers. In fiscal year 2011, the contribution to schools was over $727.3 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed over $16 billion to education in Michigan.
