Michigan Player Wins Lucky For Life’s Top Prize, Plans to Share with His Family

Yet another lucky player from Michigan has won big, this time from the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky For Life game. This comes in the wake of several seven-figure sum wins in the Great Lakes State.

The Winner Took Home $390K

According to the Michigan Lottery’s announcement, David Holfelder, a 78-year-old man from Eastpointe, Macomb County, won the lottery’s recent Lucky For Life top prize. The prize landed on January 21 when Holfelder successfully matched all winning numbers in that drawing.

For context, the winning numbers for the January 21 drawing were 3, 10, 22, 32, and 38.

Lottery officials clarified that the winning ticket was sold at One Stop Liquor Shoppe, located at 15125 East 9 Mile Road in Eastpointe. They also confirmed that Holfelder visited the lottery HQ to claim his prize, opting to take the one-time lump sum payment of $390,000 instead of the $25,000 a year for 20 years annuity.

In an interview with lottery officials, Holfelder said that he had been playing Lucky For Life a lot in recent times. He added that he was incredibly excited when he scanned his ticket after the drawing to see that he had finally won a big lottery prize.

The words I would use to describe winning are terrific, satisfying, and about time!

Holfelder added that he plans to use the money to buy a house and share the rest with his family.

Two More Players from the Great Lakes State Who Won Big

As mentioned, Holfelder’s win comes shortly after other players in Michigan won big prizes. These included a player who won $2 million from Legendary Wild Time, one of the lottery’s scratch-off games. The lucky winner said that he plans to use some of the money to fuel a voyage and then save the rest.

A few days earlier, the lottery announced that a woman from Michigan had won $6 million from the Millionaire Maker game. While the 63-year-old winner said that he doesn’t need any changes in her life, she said that she plans to use the money to help change others’ lives.
