A Kent County woman is still processing winning a $1.1 million Lotto 47 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the winning Lotto 47 numbers on Jan. 31: 03-05-07-16-19-30. She bought her winning ticket at the Family Fare, located at 565 South State Street in Sparta.

“I buy a Lotto 47 ticket every week to cover both draws for that week, and I always play the same set of numbers,” said the player. “When I checked my ticket the night of the drawing and realized I’d won, it was shocking! I didn’t fully believe it until I called the Lottery the next day to verify my prize. To be honest, I’m still processing it. Winning provides endless opportunities that I otherwise wouldn’t have.”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $762,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to donate to a few charities and then save the remainder.
