Michigan Woman Shows Persistence Pays Off With Lotto 47 Jackpot Win

One Oakland County, MI woman defied the odds by persistently playing the same numbers in the same game for a year, unlike many Michigan Lottery players who would have given up. Her determination paid off when she finally struck it big with her lucky numbers last month.

Her numbers all matched in the Aug. 18 Lotto 47 drawing, resulting in her winning the progressive jackpot of $1.2 million (pre-tax). This victory brings MI closer to a potentially record-breaking year for significant prizes.

Who is the Lotto 47 jackpot winner?

The MI Lottery news release reports that a 51-year-old woman who wished to keep her identity undisclosed has emerged as the winner. The numbers she selected, namely 05-06-11-36-40-47, precisely matched the winning numbers drawn on August 18. She revealed that her triumph as a Lotto 47 jackpot winner has been a long-awaited moment for her.

The player stated that they have been playing Lotto 47 online for approximately one year. They mentioned their consistent practice of playing with the same set of numbers and emphasized their preference for online play.

Upon reviewing the results, it became evident that a winner had emerged. However, the thought of it being me had not even crossed my mind. Intrigued, I decided to scrutinize the numbers more closely. To my astonishment, they seemed oddly familiar. Doubtful yet hopeful, I proceeded to confirm in my account that I was indeed the victor. The revelation left me utterly stunned.

I’m still shocked.”

When she visited the claim center, the Lottery winner decided to receive a lump sum payment of approximately $734,000. Her intentions involve investing the money, sharing her newfound wealth with her family, and enjoying a well-deserved vacation.

The game’s overall demeanor is in line with the fact that it took her a year of playing the same numbers to win the big prize. This occurrence marks only the second time in the game’s history that a player has successfully matched all six numbers while playing online, with the first instance happening in December 2020.

Therefore, it may take some time before another individual can successfully reproduce her findings in this particular game. Nevertheless, the complete range of MI Lottery games has been consistently awarding million-dollar prizes at an impressive rate throughout this year.
