PONTIAC, MI – An Oakland County man experienced a surge of thoughts when he found out he won $1.5 million by playing the Michigan Lottery’s Lotto 47 Double Play game.
“I saw a message online that someone had won the Lotto 47 Double Play and recognized the location, but I didn’t think there was any way I was the winner,” said the player. “As soon as I checked my ticket, my mind was racing and thinking about how I could use the money for my family.”
The fortunate winner, who decided to remain anonymous, matched the winning Lotto 47 Double Play numbers on July 5th, which were 20-25-26-27-36-44. The ticket that brought him this life-changing prize was purchased at the Carnival Market, situated at 1101 East Walton Boulevard in Pontiac.
Upon discovering the news, the winner expressed his initial disbelief, stating, “I saw a message online that someone had won the Lotto 47 Double Play and recognized the location, but I didn’t think there was any way I was the winner. As soon as I checked my ticket, my mind was racing and thinking about how I could use the money for my family.”
He opted to receive the prize as a one-time lump sum payment of approximately $1 million, rather than receiving annuity payments for the full amount.
“The win is life-changing and means financial security for my family,” stated the fortunate winner.
