A stunned Livingston County resident is still processing his big Lotto 47 jackpot win. The $1.5 million payout is the most recent big score for a Michigan Lottery player.

The fortunate player is a 64-year-old anonymous winner. The player declined to reveal his identity. Nevertheless, his huge jackpot hit has netted him over a million dollars.

The lucky ticket was purchased at the 9700 Chilson Commons Circle Kroger Grocery store in Pinckney. Pickney is a picturesque town situated nearby Ann Arbor.

The winning ticket numbers were revealed at 02, 09, 20, 22, 24, and 39. The draw took place on January 7.

The Lucky Numbers

The lucky winner indicated that he frequently played Lotto 47. His special winning numbers included a combination of his children’s birthdays and special dates. He checked winning numbers online, and to his surprise, his winning combinations paid off.

After deductions, the prize money came out to approximately $797,000. He preferred the one-time payment over annuity payments for the entire jackpot amount.
