A Macomb County woman's intuition paid off big time when she won the $1.72 million Lotto 47 jackpot. The lucky 62-year-old, who chose to remain anonymous, always had a feeling that she would win big. And on September 25, 2024, her hunch became reality.
The winning numbers for that night's drawing were 4-12-25-33-41-47. The woman, a frequent online player, purchased her winning ticket on the Michigan Lottery website.
She said:
I play Lotto 47 online often, and I always had a feeling I would win the jackpot one day. I was so excited when I saw the email from the Michigan Lottery notifying me of my $1.72 million jackpot win! I called my son and daughter-in-law to tell them the news, but I had a hard time getting the words out because I was so stunned.
Michigan Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli congratulated the winner, emphasizing the role of an upbeat outlook:
The power of positive thinking paid off for this lucky player, who won the $1.7 million Lotto 47 jackpot. Dreaming about life-changing jackpots and how they could impact your life is fun, but it is important to play responsibly.

The winner opted for a one-time lump sum payment of approximately $1.2 million. She plans to use her winnings to purchase a new home and support her family.
