A Michigan Lottery player who won $25,000 a year for life on a ticket bought in Mt. Pleasant in February was the first of what has now become four such winners this year.
Lucky For Life has been exceptionally lucky for Lottery players this year. A ticket matched the five white balls drawn Saturday night – 01-04-31-39-47 – to win the big prize. The winning ticket was bought online at MichiganLottery.com.
The big win marks the fourth time this year, and third time this month, a Michigan player has won a lifetime prize playing Lucky For Life. Those big wins came on:
- Feb. 20, with a ticket bought at Borders Corner Store, located at 7024 East Pickard Road in Mount Pleasant.
- March 12, with a ticket bought online at MichiganLottery.com. This prize was recently claimed by an Escanaba woman.
- March 23, with a ticket bought at the Value Center Market, located at 27428 6 Mile Road in Livonia.
The lucky winners have two choices to collect the big prizes that includes annual $25,000 payments for a minimum of 20 years or life, whichever is greater, or a one-time lump sum cash payment of $390,000
The lucky winners should contact the Michigan Lottery Player Relations Division at 844-917-6325 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prizes. The prizes must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing. Lucky For Life tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date.
For just $2 per play, Lucky For Life gives Lottery players a chance to win prizes ranging from $3 to a lifetime of cash. To win the game’s top prize of $1,000 a day for life, players must match all five winning numbers ranging from 1 to 48, plus one Lucky Ball ranging from 1 to 18. Players who match all five winning numbers, but not the Lucky Ball, will win $25,000 a year for life. Drawings take place at 10:38 p.m. seven days-a-week.
Tickets may be purchased at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com.
