WIXOM, Mich. – A Wixom man won a $105,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
Matthew Mudie, 61, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the Nov. 15 drawing to win the big prize.
“My wife won $30,000 on a pull tabs ticket a few years ago and since then she has always told me I need to top her prize. Well, that day has finally come,” Mudie said.
The winning numbers were 01-08-10-16-31. He purchased his winning ticket at Benstein Liquor at 1050 Benstein Road in Walled Lake.
“I play the same set of numbers made up of special dates every Monday for the whole week,” said Mudie. “The morning after the drawing, I scanned my ticket using the Lottery app and was amazed to learn I had won the jackpot.”
Mudie said he plans to complete home improvements and pay bills with his winnings.
