A new set of numbers quickly paid off for a Macomb County woman when she won a $210,517 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the July 3 drawing to win the big prize: 08-11-14-23-30. She bought her winning ticket at Cass Market located at 278 Cass Avenue in Mount Clemens.

“I play the Fantasy 5 game often, but recently started playing this new set of numbers I put together,” said the 50-year-old player. “I saw on the website that someone had won the jackpot, so I checked the numbers. As soon as I looked them over, I thought: ‘Wait a minute, those are my numbers!’ I was speechless.”
The player visited Lottery headquarters to claim her big prize. With her winnings she plans to share with family, pay bills, and purchase a home.
“It still hasn’t sunk in that I won, but I am so happy and excited,” the player said.
