A Kent County woman hit the jackpot and won a $1.1 million jackpot in the Michigan Lottery’s ‘Lotto 47’ game.
The lucky winner, who preferred to keep her identity anonymous, matched the winning numbers from the drawing held on January 31: 03-05-07-16-19-30.
The winner bought her ticket at a Family Fare store, located at 565 South State Street, in the city of Sparta.
The winner shared her purchasing routine: “I buy a Lotto 47 ticket every week for the two draws that week and I always play the same set of numbers.”
“When I checked my ticket the night of the drawing and realized I had won, it was shocking! I didn’t fully believe it until I called the Lottery the next day to verify my win. To be honest, I’m still processing it. “Winning gives me endless opportunities that I wouldn’t have otherwise,” she added.
When claiming her prize at Lottery headquarters, the woman decided to receive the money in a single lump sum of approximately $762,000, after the required taxes were deducted.
The other option he had, and which he rejected, was to receive the $1.1 million in annual payments for 20 years.
The winner plans to use her new fortune for altruistic purposes, as she will donate a portion to various charities and save the rest.
