A Warren couple wasted no time coming forward to collect their $3.4 million Classic Lotto 47 fortune on Friday, October 5.

The couple had the sole winning ticket from the Classic Lotto 47 drawing on
October 3.

They purchased their winning ticket from Meijer Gas Station #237 located at 29585 Mound Rd. in Warren.

The anonymous winners said the first thing they would do with their multi-million dollar fortune was help their family, then they would splurge a little on themselves and jet-set off to Italy!

Opting for a one-time lump sum payment of $2,173,112, these winners took home a check for $1,537,478 after paying 25 percent in federal taxes and 4.25 percent in taxes to the state of Michigan.
