LANSING, January 4, 2007 – Janet Cavazos and her husband Manuel are a very lucky couple! The long time Lottery players matched all numbers for a $1 million win in the Jan. 3 Millionaire Raffle game.

Manuel saw the live drawing on WDIV-TV 4 on Jan. 3 and wrote all winning $1 million raffle numbers down. To his shock and surprise, he wrote his winning number – 296245 – down on his cheat sheet two separate times; missing one lucky winning number completely. After discovering that his ticket won the huge prize, he told Lottery officials that “everything has been a blur!”

The couple plan to use their prize money on investments, paying bills, helping their children and a taking a trip to Hawaii.

The lucky winning ticket was purchased at Farmer Jack #724, 23849 West Rd., in Brownstown Twp.

The Millionaire Raffle is a Lottery game like you’ve never played before! A limited number of tickets, only 500,000, were sold at all Lottery terminals across Michigan beginning November 12, 2006. Each ticket sold contained a unique six-digit number from 000001 to 500000. In a single drawing which was held on Jan. 3, 765 raffle tickets were randomly selected to win the following great prizes:

– 5 grand prizes of $1,000,000 each (annuitized over 20 years)
– 10 prizes of $100,000 each
– 750 prizes of $1,000 each 

The Millionaire Raffle offered players the best chance ever to win $1,000,000. With odds of just 1 in 100,000 that a player will become one of five new millionaires, it’s the most $1,000,000 prizes ever awarded in a Michigan Lottery game!
