A Michigan<\/a> man recently was so close to the big win in the Fantasy 5 game in his state\u2019s lottery. He had hit four of five numbers.<\/p>\n

He earned $100, and was excited for the cash. But the 53-year-old Macomb County resident admitted he was \u201cbummed\u201d he didn\u2019t hit the big jackpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He tried his luck again the following day for the same game. He hit all of the winning numbers for the July 27 drawing: 02-05-17-21-30.<\/p>\n

After the drawing, he got an email from the lottery. It said he won $1.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that was all I\u2019d won, until another email came through telling me to log into my account to claim my prize,\u201d the unnamed man recalled in a statement released last week.<\/p>\n

\n

When I logged in and saw $795,905 pending, my first thought was that it was a scam. Now, that I am at the lottery office claiming my prize, it\u2019s starting to hit me that this is real.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He had purchased the ticket online from the MichiganLottery.com website.<\/p>\n

The lucky winner plans to invest his jackpot.<\/p>\n

Fantasy 5 Is Favorite<\/h2>\n

He explains that he likes to play the Michigan lottery\u2019s Fantasy 5 game.<\/p>\n

\n

I always buy Fantasy 5 tickets if the jackpot is over $250,000,\u201d he said. \u201cI usually buy my tickets in-store, but the night of the drawing I realized I\u2019d forgotten to buy some, so I logged onto MichiganLottery.com and bought two.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Fantasy 5 game is $1. For an additional $1, EZmatch is added so players can win up to $500. For $1 more per play, Double Play is added, giving players a second chance, to win up to $110,000 in the nightly Double Play drawing.<\/p>\n

Fantasy 5 players select five numbers between 1 and 39. Players who match all five numbers win at least $100K.<\/p>\n

Fantasy 5 drawings are held seven days a week at 7:29 p.m.<\/p>\n

Michigan Lottery<\/a> Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli points out that the online<\/a> option gives players a convenient way to play when they can\u2019t get to a retailer.<\/p>\n

Powerball Win<\/h2>\n

Michigan saw a huge win earlier this year. On New Year\u2019s Day, a single Powerball<\/a> ticket sold in Michigan matched the five drawn white balls and the red Powerball.<\/p>\n

A Michigan trio won an $842.4M jackpot. The winners remain anonymous but revealed they are part of a \u201cBreakfast Club.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

They got the ticket on Jan. 1 at the Food Castle in Grand Blanc, Mich., some 60 miles north of Detroit.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
