(LANSING, MI) — A Menominee County man won $176,727 after buying a Michigan State Lottery Fantasy 5 ticket at an Escanaba gas station. The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, won the prize by matching the numbers drawn March 24: 20-27-29-35-38. He bought his winning ticket at the Krist Food Mart, located at 102 North Lincoln Road in Escanaba. “I checked the first three numbers on the Michigan Lottery app, and then had my wife check the next two,” said the player. “When she told me I’d won, she said I turned white as a ghost.” The player visited Lottery headquarters in Lansing Tuesday to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay off debt and then invest the remainder in his business. “Winning is a game changer for me and my family,” the player said.
