A Wayne County man recently claimed a large Lotto 47 jackpot won on a ticket sold in Westland.
The 57-year-old man, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased his ticket at Maple Drugs located at 1949 Wayne Road, according to the Michigan Lottery.
It matched the numbers drawn Dec. 4 — 2, 10, 13, 24, 29 and 46 — to win the jackpot worth $1.05 million.
A Wayne County man won $1.05 million Dec. 4 on a Lotto 47 ticket purchased in Westland.
“The day after the drawing, I checked my Lotto 47 ticket by scanning it on the Lottery app,” the man told the Michigan Lottery. “When confetti came up on the screen with the amount of $1.05 million, all I could think was: ‘It’s a miracle! An early Christmas miracle!’ It’s pretty amazing to invest $1 and win $1.05 million. Just like that, your financial future is clearer.”
The ticket was one of the three Michigan Lottery tickets purchased in Westland worth $1 million or more that were won or claimed in 2024.
