We frequently hear about the huge jackpots in the Powerball and Mega-Millions lotteries. But some big money can be won in the smaller state of Michigan lotteries… like the Lotto 47.
A Mackinac County man became the 7th player this year to win a big jackpot in the Lotto 47… 4 pt 3 million dollars.
He bought the ticket for the Nov. 1st drawing at a store in Walkerville.
A few days later, he checked the ticket on a scanner. He got a funny message… asked his daughter to text him the winning numbers… and he screamed when he saw that he had all the numbers.
16, 20, 23, 32, 37, and 45. It was an Easy Pick.
The lottery bureau says he took a lump sum, of 2 pt 8 million.
The man says he’s got 6 kids and a bunch of grandchildren, and when he’s done with them, he’ll be half-broke.
