In a serendipitous twist at the checkout, a Michigan local’s spur-of-the-moment decision rewarded him with a $446,571 jackpot. This 43-year-old from Oakland County, Michigan scooped up the massive prize after a casual visit to a 7-Eleven on Hayes Road in Clinton Township.
He initially stopped to pick up his regular Mega Millions and Powerball tickets. “I usually stick to my usual games, but that day I felt like trying something different and bought a Fantasy 5 ticket instead,” he explained. His gut feeling proved right when, days later, he discovered at the same store that he had won the May 28 Fantasy 5 drawing with the numbers 07-16-24-29-31.
The excitement was palpable at home, where celebrations erupted upon realizing their new fortune. The lucky winner plans to invest the windfall and save for his children’s college education.
