A lucky Michigan lottery player hit the jackpot and became an instant millionaire when they won a whopping $4.37 million from the Lotto 47 jackpot on Saturday night.
A ticket sold at Amvets Post 110 in Cadillac won the Lotto 47 jackpot with the numbers 08-23-26-31-36-40 drawn on Saturday, according to the Michigan Lottery. It is the first time the Lotto 47 jackpot has been won this year, the lottery said.
To claim the Lotto 47 prize, contact Michigan Lottery's at 844-917-6325 and schedule an appointment. The ticket is valid for one year from the drawing date.
While waiting to see who will claim the $4.37 million prize, a man from St. Joseph County entered Michigan Lottery headquarters on Monday to claim his half-million-dollar prize.
A 77-year-old man won $500,000 from Michigan Lottery's Winter Ice instant game. The lucky player bought his winning ticket at Jit Food and Gas in Constantine, according to the Michigan Lottery.
The Lottery said the man man and his son bought two $5 scratch-off tickets at a gas station. Upon scratching the tickets, one of them revealed a $10 prize, prompting the anonymous player to return to the store and buy two more tickets.
"My son likes the Wild Time game, so I got him one of those, and I got myself a new $500,000 Winter Ice ticket after the clerk said people had been doing pretty well on it," the winner told the Lottery. "When we scratched the tickets off, I said to my son: 'What would you say if I told you I'd won $500,000?' He replied: 'That you're full of it!' That's when I handed him the ticket and we both started screaming!"
He told the lottery that he intends to buy a new home with the money.
