A last-minute decision to purchase a Fantasy 5 ticket paid off for a Kalamazoo County man who won a $733,362 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

The lucky 62-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the June 19 drawing to win the big prize: 07-15-30-37-38. He bought his winning ticket at Bronco Liquor, located at 5034 West Kl Avenue in Kalamazoo.

“I like to play Fantasy 5 when the jackpot is large and I always play my special sets of numbers,” said the player. “I was running errands and saw the Fantasy 5 jackpot was up there, so I told myself I would purchase a ticket for the next drawing.

“After thinking about it for a while, I made the last-minute decision to stop and purchase a ticket on my way home. When I checked my ticket a few days after the drawing and realized I’d won the jackpot, I couldn’t stop shaking! Winning is such a blessing.”

The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to share with family.
