NEW BOSTON, MI — A Wayne County woman hit the Lotto 47 jackpot last month for $1.67 million, according to lottery officials.

The ticket matched the six Lotto 47 numbers drawn (05-16-17-34-36-44) in the April 25 drawing to win a $1.67 million jackpot, according to lottery officials.

"My husband and I have been playing Lotto 47 since it began," the woman said. "We have a special set of numbers we usually play, so we played those and then at the last minute decided to add two sets of Easy Pick numbers to the ticket too."

She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.16 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount, according to lottery officials.

With her winnings, she plans to buy a new car and then save the remainder, according to lottery officials.
