A Michigan man still has a hard time believing he’s won a $242,256 dollars with a Fantasy 5 lottery ticket.
The lucky player, who chose to remain in anonymity, matched the Fantasy 5 lottery numbers in the 14 draw April to win the grand prize: -16-25-29-39.
The winning ticket was purchased at the BP gas station, located at 1365 West Maple Road, in Clawson.
“When I was shopping at the gas station, I saw that the Fantasy 5 jackpot was over $200,, so I decided to buy some tickets,” said the player. “I forgot I had bought the tickets until I saw them in my wallet a few days later.”
“When I checked the winning numbers on the Lottery app, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I decided to use my computer and check the numbers on the Lottery website to make sure there were no glitches in the app. When I confirmed the numbers a second time and saw that the winning ticket had been purchased at Clawson, I finally accepted that I had won. Winning is a great feeling!”
The player of 65 years ago recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the grand prize. With her earnings, she plans to set aside funds for her grandchildren’s college and then save the rest for retirement.
