Posted on May 8, 2012 by milottery

Michigan Lottery $5 Cash for Life IG #497Bay City retailers have sold two big winning tickets! A $5 winning Cash for Life ticket was purchased just two blocks away from the 7-Eleven located at 1915 S. Euclid Ave. that just sold the May 2 Classic Lotto 47 ticket that carries a jackpot of $6,319,677. No one has claimed this winning ticket yet!

Guess you could say Bay City is a Michigan Lottery Hot Spot right now!

The top prize on the $5 Cash for Life ticket is $2,000 a week for life.  That is exactly what a very lucky, avid instant ticket player claimed at the Michigan Lottery headquarters on Friday, May 4.  This player will now go to his mailbox once a year and find a check for 52 weeks of Cash for Life payments. “I’ll be pretty much set for life,” this player told family members who were on-hand to witness their sibling get the first installment of his Cash for Life winnings.

The winning ticket was sold at Rich Oil #8714 located at 1809 S. Euclid in Bay City.

Player never doubted he would win Fantasy 5!

Posted on May 4, 2012 by milottery

Fantasy 5The winner plays Fantasy 5 every day, using family birthdays as his lucky numbers. He has been playing the game since 2004 when it was first introduced, and he never doubted that he would win.

That day finally came on October 7, 2011 when the player won $110,000!  The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, looked online for the winning numbers after he returned from a trip with his wife. When he told her what he had found, she replied, “No way!”

Players have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The fortunate individual from Hale, knowing he would collect the prize money in 2012, took his family on an exciting vacation and bought a boat. He will put the rest of the money in savings.

The winning ticket was sold at Tenuta’s Foodlane located at 3515 Sashabaw Rd. in Waterford.
