A Kent County man ended his day by logging in to his Michigan Lottery account and finding out he was a millionaire after winning a $3.4 million Lotto 47 jackpot.

The lucky 62-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the winning Lotto 47 numbers on Oct. 25: 01-11-22-28-43-47. He bought his winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.

“I always purchase my Lotto 47 tickets online,” said the player. “I logged in to my account late one night and saw $3.4 million pending, and realized I must have won the Lotto 47 jackpot. I was so excited I woke my wife up to tell her the news. She was frantic and thought something bad had happened until I showed her the prize amount pending in my Lottery account. It was such a surreal feeling, and we were both in shock!”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. He chose to receive his winnings as annual annuity payments of about $113,300 for the next 30 years rather than a one-time lump sum payment of about $2.3 million. With his winnings, he plans to buy a new vehicle and then save the remainder.

Each Lotto 47 play is only $1. Players select six numbers from one to 47 for a chance to win a jackpot starting at $1 million and that grows until someone wins it. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Lotto 47 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $1.5 million in the nightly Double Play drawing. For an additional $1 per game, players may add EZMatch to their ticket for a chance to win up to $500 instantly. Lotto 47 drawings take place on Wednesday and Saturday at 7:29 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at a retailer or online at MichiganLottery.com until 7:08 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
