A man from the county of Kent won a great fortune playing the lottery. His selected numbers earned him $25,000 a year for life in the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky For Life game.
Steven Frederick of the City of Belmont matched all five white balls drawn in the June 20 drawing (10-17-26-28-30) to win the grand prize.
The lucky winner purchased their winning ticket at the J&H Family Store, located at 1604 Post Drive Northeast in Belmont.
“I have been playing Lucky For Life for several years and I always play the same numbers. I checked the winning numbers online the morning after the drawing, and when I saw that I had won $25,000 a year for life, I excitedly yelled, ‘About time!’” said Frederick.
“When I showed my wife how much we had won, she too started screaming with excitement. I’ve been playing these numbers for years and I’m delighted that they finally paid off!”
Frederick, who is 67 years old, recently went to Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. Instead of opting to receive annual payments of $25,000 for life, he chose to receive the award from him as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $390,000.
The winner plans to use his new fortune to buy a new house.
To win the Lucky For Life game’s grand prize of $1,000 a day for life, entrants must match all five winning numbers from 1 to 48, along with a lucky ball ranging from 1 to 18.
Those who manage to match all five winning numbers in the game, but miss the lucky ball, will be awarded a prize of $25,000 per year for life.
