05.16.16 Lotto 47 05.11.16 Draw $2,019,080 (1,281,142 Lump Sum) Anonymous Kalkaska CountyA Kalkaska County woman had to check her Lotto 47 ticket 10 times before believing she had won the game’s $2 million jackpot.

The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched all six Lotto 47 numbers drawn on Wednesday night: 03-13-29-30-34-47. She bought her winning ticket at the Lake City Shell gas station, located at 200 Main Street in Lake City.

Winning $2 million was still sinking in when the winner visited Lottery headquarters today to claim her big prize. She said that it was hard to believe she won the jackpot because “My husband and I have worked so hard for everything that we’ve ever had.”

She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million rather than an annuity. With her winnings, she plans to purchase a new vehicle, travel to visit some family and friends, and complete some home improvement projects.
