A $25,000 a year for life Lucky For Life prize remains unclaimed six months after the drawing.
One ticket matched the five white balls drawn March 26 – 18-25-34-39-48 – to win the $25,000 a year for life prize. The winning ticket was bought at Merriman Drugs, located at 31320 5 Mile Road in Livonia.
“Winning a $25,000 a year for life prize is a life-changing event, we want the winner to claim their prize and they have six months left to do so,” said Lottery Commissioner, Suzanna Shkreli. “While we hope to hear from the winner sometime in the next six months, if the prize goes unclaimed it will go to the School Aid Fund and that is good news for Michigan’s public schools.”
The lucky winner has two choices to collect the big prize:
- Annual $25,000 payments for a minimum of 20 years or life, whichever is greater, or
- A one-time lump sum cash payment of $390,000
The winner should the Michigan Lottery Player Relations Division at 844-917-6325 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing. Lucky For Life tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date.
