A Macomb County party store sold a winning Lotto 47 ticket good for $1.1 million over the weekend, according to the Michigan Lottery.
An as-of-yet unidentified player matched all six Lotto 47 numbers drawn — 09-15-16-30-40-44 — on Saturday night to win the jackpot. The winning ticket was bought at Liquor Land, 17934 E. Nine Mile Road at Schroeder Avenue, in Eastpointe.
It is the eighth time in 2024 and third time in three weeks that a player has won the Lotto 47 jackpot, lottery officials said Monday.
Another player won big bucks the night before on Friday, Dec. 13. A ticket matched the five white balls drawn — 03-15-32-34-37 — to win a $25,000 a year for life Lucky For Life prize. The winning ticket was bought at Jerry’s Party Store on Warren Road in Westland.
That marked the 14th time in 2024 a player has won $25,000 a year for life playing Lucky For Life.
“Michigan Lottery players have been cashing in with big wins in recent weeks, and that lucky streak continued over the weekend with the 14th Lucky For Life, lifetime-prize win this year and a third Lotto 47 jackpot hit in three weeks,” Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli said in a news release.
The winners should contact the Lottery’s Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to setup an appointment to claim their prize. Lucky For Life and Lotto 47 tickets are valid for one year from the date of the drawing.
