“I play Lotto 47 online often, and I always had a feeling I would win the jackpot one day,” said the player. “I was so excited when I saw the email from the Michigan Lottery notifying me of my $1.72 million jackpot win! I called my son and daughter-in-law to tell them the news, but I had a hard time getting the words out because I was so stunned. The power of positive thinking paid off for this lucky player, who won the $1.7 million Lotto 47 jackpot,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Dreaming about life-changing jackpots and how they could impact your life is fun, but it is important to play responsibly. Our online games feature several tools that help promote safe, responsible, play.”
The Macomb County woman chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.2 million. She plans to buy a house and help her family with her winnings.
