An Oakland County man is nearly $430,000 richer after an April 1 lottery win.

The 63-year-old player told Michigan Lottery officials he wants to remain anonymous after the Fantasy 5 win using the numbers 09-14-21-35-36.

He bought his $1 ticket online and told state officials he’s been an avid lottery player for years, buying tickets online or at area stores.

“When I saw I’d won the jackpot, I thought it was some sort of April Fools’ joke. I was thrilled when I called the Lottery and found out the prize was indeed real!,” he told lottery officials when he claimed his $429,249 jackpot.

He said he’ll use the money to pay bills and buy his wife a new car.
