Good Luck Lotto Club takes home $250,000!

Michigan Lottery Mega MillionsThe Good Luck Lotto Club of Hudson visited Michigan Lottery headquarters today to claim their $250,000 prize. The two person lottery club matched 5 white balls on the May 29 Mega Millions drawing.

One club member told a Lottery staffer that a portion of her winnings will be designated to help those less fortunate by donating to a local charity. The other member stated that he has his sights set on a new vehicle, not sure what make and model yet, but the winnings will make the pool of options a bit larger.

The winning ticket was purchased by the club at Beecher BP Gas located at 2982 W. Beecher Rd. in Adrian.

Over 95 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets is returned to the state in the form of contributions to the state School Aid Fund, prizes to players and commissions to retailers. In fiscal year 2011, the contribution to schools was over $727.3 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed over $16 billion to education in Michigan.

Club Keno winner scores big with The Jack!

Michigan Lottery Club Keno The JackThe Club Keno jackpot on May 23 was at $124,321, until 8:01 p.m. That is when one lucky player joined the game and would be richer because of it.

This player purchased a $2 wager for a one 4-spot draw, plus The Jack for an additional dollar and the Kicker option for another $2. As the numbers appeared on the screen, the player watched with elation. One by one all of the numbers matched with his Jack numbers. Then to make the win even sweeter, he matched two of his four Club Keno numbers and with a 2x Kicker, his $2 prize doubled to $4. Added to The Jack win, this wager quickly made this player $124,325 richer!

The winning ticket was purchased at Kenny’s Market located at 7850 N. Telegraph Rd. in Newport.

This player increased his weekly Lottery allowance from $5 to $10 and it was a decision that turned around his investment many times over with this win of $142,189!

The Speedy Q Markets #345 located at 35700 Harper Ave. in Clinton Township sold the third unclaimed $142,189 of this jackpot. To claim the prize, the fortunate player will need to contact Michigan Lottery Public Relations at 517-373-1237 to set up an appointment.
