The last-minute decision to purchase a Fantasy 5 ticket paid off for an Oakland County man when he won a $446,571 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery!

The lucky 43-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the May 28 drawing to win the big prize: 07-16-24-29-31. He bought his winning ticket at the 7-Eleven, located at 41110 Hayes Road in Clinton Township.

“I usually play Mega Millions and Powerball, but when I was at the store, I made a last-minute decision to purchase a Fantasy 5 ticket,” said the player. “A few days later, I was at the same store and people were talking about how a big Fantasy 5 winner was sold there. I scanned my ticket, and that’s when I knew I was the big winner! The excitement in our house has been through the roof!”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his big prize. With his winnings, he plans to invest and put money into his children’s college funds.

Each Fantasy 5 play is only $1. For an additional $1 per play, EZmatch may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a chance to win up to $500 instantly. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $110,000 in the nightly Double Play drawing.
