A Warren woman is planning home improvements, a party, and a trip to Las Vegas after winning a $219,638 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

Lori Sikora, 66, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the Dec. 26 drawing to win the big prize: 06-13-17-23-26. She bought her winning ticket at the Meijer store, located at 34835 Utica Road in Fraser.

“I have played Fantasy 5 for years, and I always select family member’s birthdays as my lucky numbers,” said Sikora. “When I saw the winning numbers, I knew pretty quickly that I had won. I went running to tell my husband and when I got to him, he thought something was wrong.

“Winning is a wonderful feeling. Knowing I can help my family means everything to me!”

Sikora recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her jackpot. With her winnings she plans to remodel her bathroom, throw a baby shower for her daughter, and take a trip to Las Vegas.

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.
