The anonymous player won an astounding $963,040 jackpot by matching the Fantasy 5 numbers in the June 26 drawing: 04-05-08-22-38. The winning ticket was purchased at Smoker’s Express, located at 51124 D W Seaton Drive in New Baltimore.
“I play Fantasy 5 every single day,” the player shared. The day after the drawing, he was at work when he heard about the big win. Curious, he checked MichiganLottery.com to find out where the winning ticket was sold. Realizing it was from his usual store, he called his wife to share the exciting news, though he hadn’t yet confirmed it was his ticket.
Later that night, he and his wife reviewed the ticket together, discovering that he was indeed the lucky winner. “I didn’t know how to feel at first because I didn’t believe it was real. Now that it’s finally sunk in, it feels great!” he exclaimed.
The winner recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He plans to use his winnings to purchase a new vehicle, a new home, and a cottage, marking a significant upgrade in his lifestyle.
This win surpasses the previous Fantasy 5 record of a $924,880 jackpot, won on January 17.
