Macomb County Man Wins $481,582 Fantasy 5 Jackpot from the Michigan Lottery

A Macomb County man plans to share his good fortune with his family after winning a $481,582 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

The 84-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the Aug. 16 drawing to win the big prize: 01-03-07-23-38. He bought his winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.

“After I bought my ticket online, I wrote down my numbers so I could check them the next day,” said the player. “The morning after the drawing, I got on MichiganLottery.com to look at the results and saw someone won the jackpot. I started matching my numbers and went into shock when I realized I was the jackpot winner!”

The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his jackpot. He plans to share his winnings with his family and then save the remainder.

“I have been playing Fantasy 5 for a long time hoping to win big, and I can’t believe it finally happened,” the player said.

Each Fantasy 5 play is only $1. For an additional $1 per play, EZmatch may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a chance to win up to $500 instantly. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $110,000 in the nightly Double Play drawing. Players may win prizes in the regular nightly drawing, the Double Play drawing, or both. Fantasy 5 players select five numbers from one to 39. Players who match all five Fantasy 5 numbers drawn win a jackpot that starts at $100,000.

Fantasy 5 drawings are held seven days a week 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.
