HARPER WOODS, Mich. (WJRT) – An Oakland County man graduated from college and cashed in on a $110,000 Fantasy 5 Double Play prize on the same day.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Lottery says the 27-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 Double Play numbers on May 15, 2025, to win the big prize: 03-10-18-22-39.<\/p>\n

He bought the winning ticket at Paramount Foods, located at 19230 Harper Ave. in Harper Woods, and claimed the prize less than a week before his ticket expired.<\/p>\n

“A few days after the drawing, I checked the winning numbers and found out I was the winner of a $110,000 prize,” the player said.<\/p>\n

The lucky winner said he typically buys a Fantasy 5 or Lotto 47 ticket whenever he has a few extra dollars in his pocket.<\/p>\n

“When I won, I knew I would be graduating college the following spring, so I decided to wait to cash the ticket until then so I could use the money to pay off my tuition and have a fresh start after college,” he said. “Although it was hard to wait, it’s been reassuring knowing I have a huge amount of money waiting for me.”<\/p>\n

The lucky player recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay off his college tuition, take a trip and then save the remainder.<\/p>\n

“Today, I graduated college and cashed in a $110,000 lottery prize, so I’d say that’s pretty cool,” the player said.<\/p>\n
