Two lucky Michigan Lottery players saw their numbers come in over the weekend leading to huge prizes!
On Friday, a ticket matched the five white balls drawn – 03-15-32-34-37 – to win a $25,000 a year for life Lucky For Life prize. The winning ticket was bought at Jerry’s Party Store, located at 28940 Warren Road in Westland. It is the 14th time in 2024 a player has won $25,000 a year for life playing Lucky For Life.
Saturday night, a lucky player matched the six Lotto 47 numbers drawn – 09-15-16-30-40-44 – to win a $1.1 million jackpot. The winning ticket was bought at Liquor Land, located at 17934 East 9 Mile Road in Eastpointe. It is the eighth time in 2024 and third time in three weeks that a player has won the Lotto 47 jackpot.
“Michigan Lottery players have been cashing in with big wins in recent weeks, and that lucky streak continued over the weekend with the 14th Lucky For Life, lifetime-prize win this year and a third Lotto 47 jackpot hit in three weeks,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Congratulations to the big winners!”
The lucky winners should the Lottery’s Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to setup an appointment to claim their prize. Lucky For Life and Lotto 47 tickets are valid for one year from the date of the drawing.
The Lucky For Life 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
For just $2 per play, Lucky For Life gives Lottery players a chance to win prizes ranging from $3 to a lifetime of cash. To win the game’s top prize of $1,000 a day for life, players must match all five winning numbers ranging from 1 to 48, plus one Lucky Ball ranging from 1 to 18. Players who match all five winning numbers, but not the Lucky Ball, will win $25,000 a year for life. Drawings take place at 10:38 p.m. seven days-a-week. Tickets may be purchased at Lottery retailers across the state and online at Michiganmilotteryconnect.casinowinning.net.
Each Lotto 47 play is only $1. Players select six numbers from one to 47 for a chance to win a jackpot starting at $1 million and that grows until someone wins it. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Lotto 47 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $1.5 million in the nightly Double Play drawing. For an additional $1 per game, players may add EZMatch to their ticket for a chance to win up to $500 instantly. Lotto 47 drawings take place on Wednesday and Saturday at 7:29 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at a retailer or online at Michiganmilotteryconnect.casinowinning.net until 7:08 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
