A Washtenaw County woman expected to see a $10 prize when she scanned her Fantasy 5 ticket but instead found out she won a $309,989 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery!
The 54-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the July 12 drawing to win the big prize: 13-18-23-28-33. She bought her winning ticket at the Belleville Amoco, located at 10950 Belleville Road in Belleville.
Breakfast benefit
“Fantasy 5 is one of my favorite games to play,” said the player. “I usually buy my tickets online, but I went out for breakfast that morning, so I stopped at a store to buy a ticket while I was out.
“I usually don’t check my tickets right after the drawing, but while I was sitting at home watching tv that night, something told me to check my Fantasy 5 ticket. I scanned it on the app thinking maybe it would be a $10 winner, so I was stunned when $309,989 came up on the scanner! This jackpot prize is such a blessing.”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her jackpot. With her winnings, she plans to pay bills, pay off her daughter’s student loans, and then save the remainder.
