A Macomb County woman screamed at the top of her lungs when she won a $277,012 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the May 31 drawing to win the big prize: 06-09-16-26-39. She bought her winning ticket at Smokers House Shop, located at 26193 West 6 Mile Road in Redford.

“I recently started playing Fantasy 5 and this was the fifth ticket I’d ever purchased for the game,” said the 28-year-old winner. “I checked the winning numbers online the morning after the drawing and when I realized I’d won the jackpot, I started screaming at the top of my lungs. Winning is such a blessing!”

The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize. With her winnings, she plans to purchase a new home.
