Wayne County Man Hits the Jackpot in the Fantasy 5 Lottery!
In the bustling city of Detroit, a 70-year-old man is dancing in the streets after scoring big in the Fantasy 5 lottery! This lucky winner, who preferred to keep his identity a secret, couldn’t believe his eyes when he realized he matched all five numbers drawn on October 27. Those magical numbers were 09-13-15-24-30, leading him to a whopping jackpot of $439,714.
A Special Connection to the Winning Numbers
What makes this win even more special is that the man has been playing a combination of numbers made up of significant dates in his life for quite some time. “I was watching TV when the winning Fantasy 5 numbers came up on the screen,” he recounted excitedly. “I immediately recognized them and started shouting to my wife: ‘We won! We won!‘”
The joy of winning has filled him with gratitude, and he plans to use a portion of his newfound fortune for a good cause. “Winning is a great feeling, especially because it means I get to use the money to help people,” he shared. How beautiful is that!
Where to Buy the Winning Ticket
The ticket was purchased at The Kennedy Liquor Store III, located at 13344 West 7 Mile Road in Detroit. So, if you are in the area, who knows, maybe luck is lurking around every corner!
Plans for the Jackpot
This generous winner has big plans for his jackpot. He intends to donate to charity and help those in need while saving the rest. It’s refreshing to see someone wanting to give back after hitting such a life-changing number!
But Wait, There’s More Winning Buzz in Michigan!
While this gentleman is celebrating, other Michiganders have also had their share of winning luck recently. The Breakfast Club lottery club made headlines after claiming an astounding $842 million Mega Millions jackpot in June 2024! That win has them dreaming of buying a house in sunny Florida and traveling the world. Must be nice!
The Importance of Checking Your Numbers
As exciting as these stories are, they also serve as a friendly reminder for all you lottery players out there. Always be sure to check your tickets right away! Just last year, a $1 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Southfield went unclaimed, and the money ended up going to the state’s School Aid Fund. Yikes!
