Oakland County Man Wins $110,000 Fantasy 5 Jackpot from the Michigan Lottery

An Oakland County man went back to work with a big smile on his face after checking his Fantasy 5 ticket during his break and learning that he’d won the game’s $110,000 jackpot.

The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the numbers drawn on February 21 – 02-08-17-19-32 – to win the big prize. He bought his winning ticket at the Little Brown Jug, located at 26631 Gratiot Avenue in Roseville.

“I keep my tickets in my wallet and check them after I get a bunch saved up,” said the player. “I was on break from my job when I checked my tickets and saw the message ‘file a ticket receipt form’ and that’s when I knew I had the jackpot winner.

“I was shaking so bad, it was hard to go back to work. I checked my pocket so many times to make sure the ticket was still in there.”

The player visited Lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim his prize. With his winnings he plans to set up college funds for his children, pay bills, and take a vacation.

“Winning is a very good feeling! Thank you Fantasy 5,” the player said.
