OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. \u2013 An Oakland County woman has played the same set of lottery numbers for years. This time, she ended up winning a $1.2 million Lotto 47 jackpot. <\/p>\n
The 69-year-old, who decided to stay anonymous, matched the six Lotto 47 numbers that were drawn on March 11 (02-16-18-19-26-42) to win her big prize, according to Michigan Lottery officials.<\/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 woman bought her ticket at the Cloverleaf BP at 28995 Telegraph Road in Southfield. <\/p>\n
Lottery officials said the player chose to receive her jackpot as a one-time lump sum payment of about $832,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning this prize means my husband can retire and we can relax and just enjoy life,\u201d the player said.<\/p>\n
Players pay $1 per Lotto 47 play and pick six numbers from 1 to 47. The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until someone wins.<\/p>\n
For $1 more per play, players can add Double Play for a second chance to win up to $1.5 million in a separate nightly drawing. For another $1 per play, they can add EZMatch for instant prizes up to $500.<\/p>\n
The drawings are held at 7:29 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
