Breakfast break scores million-dollar lottery victory in Michigan
In a surprising turn of events, a woman from Washtenaw County, Michigan, has become the latest winner of the Fantasy 5 jackpot. The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, won the impressive sum of $309,989 in the July 12 drawing.
The woman initially expected to win just $10, but was shocked to see a much larger amount on her screen. She had purchased the winning ticket at the Belleville Amoco store located at 10950 Belleville Road in Belleville, Michigan.
Fantasy 5 is a popular lottery game offered by the Michigan Lottery. Drawings for the game take place every day at 7:29 p.m., giving players plenty of opportunities to win. The cost per play is $1.

The winning numbers for the July 12 drawing were 13-18-23-28-33. The woman, who is a fan of Fantasy 5, usually buys her tickets online but chose to purchase the winning ticket in-store on the day of the drawing.
After discovering her win, the woman visited the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She did not check the ticket immediately after the drawing but scanned it using the Michigan Lottery app later that night.
The win is life-enhancing for the woman, who plans to help her daughter with her student loans and pay some bills with the unexpected windfall. The rest of the jackpot prize will be saved by the winner.
