OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. \u2013 A student from Oakland County cashed in on a $110,000 Michigan Lottery ticket on the same day as his graduation.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old Oakland County man, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 Double Play numbers (03-10-18-22-39.) May 15, 2025, to win the big prize, according to Michigan Lottery officials.<\/p>\n
The prize was claimed days before it was set to expire.<\/p>\n
The man knew he won days after cashing the ticket.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen 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.\u201d said the man \u201cAlthough it was hard to wait, it\u2019s been reassuring knowing I have a huge amount of money waiting for me.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cToday, I graduated college and cashed in a $110,000 lottery prize, so I\u2019d say that\u2019s pretty cool!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever I go to the store and have a few extra bucks in my pocket, I will buy a Fantasy 5 or Lotto 47 ticket,\u201d said the man.<\/p>\n
He bought the winning ticket at Paramount Foods, located at 19230 Harper Avenue in Harper Woods.<\/p>\n
With his winnings, he plans to pay off his college tuition, take a trip, and then save the remainder.<\/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
