Wayne County Woman Secures $1.67M Lotto 47 Jackpot

Lottery wins continue to turn casual and hardcore lottery aficionados into big-time winners, with one of the recent such stories coming out from Michigan.

The Great Lakes state saw its latest good fortune lottery stories materialize, with a Wayne County woman scooping a major win from Lotto 47, a $1.67-million payout. 

Michigan Woman and Husband Find Luck in Lotto 47’s Easy Pick Numbers 

The win was only made known just recently, but it actually occurred earlier, at the end of April, when the woman opted for the Easy Pick option and secured the win with 5, 16, 17, 34, 36, and 44. 

“My husband and I have been playing Lotto 47 since it began. We have a special set of numbers we usually play, so we played those and then at the last minute decided to add two sets of Easy Pick numbers to the ticket too,” the winner told the Michigan Lottery, recounting the story of the win and how much she actually won for her and her spouse. 

It was the husband who decided to check the numbers the next morning after the purchase.  Each new number was added to the prize, and it had reached $2,500 before he realized that the final number was enough to secure the $1.67 million payout.

The ticket itself was purchased at the New Boston Fuel Shop, Inc, a Mobil gas station at 37330 Huron River Road in New Boston. While it was the wife who bought the ticket, it was the husband who had found out that the couple had won. 

Ultimately, the woman decided to go for the lump sum payment, reducing her payout to $1.16 million.
