LANSING, Mich. – An Oakland County woman is looking forward to relaxing and enjoying life after winning a $1.2 million Lotto 47 jackpot!<\/p>\n
The lucky 69-year old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the six Lotto 47 numbers drawn \u2013 02-16-18-19-26-42 \u2013 in the March 11 drawing to win a $1.2 million jackpot. She bought the winning ticket at Cloverleaf BP, located at 28995 Telegraph Road in Southfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been playing the same set of Lotto 47 numbers for years, so when I checked the winning numbers after the drawing, I recognized them right away,\u201d said the player. \u201cI woke my husband up and said: \u2018I think I just won the lottery.\u2019 We got my ticket and looked it over and that\u2019s when I knew I really had just won the lottery!\u201d<\/p>\n
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of about $832,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning this prize means my husband can retire and we can relax and just enjoy life,\u201d the player said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LANSING, Mich. – An Oakland County woman is looking forward to relaxing and enjoying life after winning a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-237555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
