MI Woman Hits $1.72M Lotto 47 Jackpot

MICHIGAN — A Macomb County woman, who always had a feeling she would win big one day, hit the Lotto 47 Jackpot worth $1.72 million, according to Michigan Lottery officials.

The lucky 62-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the winning Lotto 47 numbers (04-12-25-33-41-47) in the Sept. 25 drawing, according to lottery officials.

She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com, according to lottery officials.

"I play Lotto 47 online often and I always had a feeling I would win the jackpot one day," the woman told lottery officials. "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 woman chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.2 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount, according to lottery officials.

With her winnings, she plans to buy a house and help her family, according to lottery officials.
