“Fantasy 5 and KENO! are my favorite Lottery games that I play all the time,” the player said. “When I checked my Fantasy 5 ticket and saw all my numbers, I looked it over again, and again, and again. It was hard to believe that I really won! Winning is a good feeling because it’s money you don’t have to work to get. It’s like a big bonus!”
The 60-year-old man purchased the winning ticket at the Meijer store at 29505 Mound Road in Warren.
He recently claimed his prize and told Michigan Lottery officials that he plans to pay off his house with his winnings and then save the rest.
