I don't know the exact, number, but the odds of anyone winning a big lottery prize one time are probably not that good.

Despite the odds a Muskegon County man has won again playing a Michigan Lottery Game.

The man who chose to remain anonymous first won half of a $733,968 Fantasy 7 jackpot – $366,984 – in February 2025.

And recently on March 26 drawing, he won the top prize of $1 million playing the Millionaire Raffle.

If you're wondering what lucky gas station he bought them out I've got some bad news for you.

He actually bought both of them online at MichiganLottery.com.

He shared with the Michigan Lottery why he played the Millionaire Raffle Game.

“I really liked the odds of the Millionaire Raffle game, so I bought several tickets. I won a $366,984 Fantasy 5 jackpot prize just over a year ago, so when I logged into my Lottery account and saw a notification that I’d won the $1 million Millionaire Raffle prize, I was in total disbelief that I’d won big again!

“I honestly thought it was some sort of technical error where an incorrect prize notification was sent, so I decided to check back in the morning. I logged in the next day, and to my surprise, the $1 million prize was still pending in my account. I’m still trying to process that I’m here again claiming another huge prize!"

 

I'm happy for the guy, but could you spread the winning around a little?

This lucky Muskegon County man isn't the only one to win big recently playing the Michigan Lottery

A man visiting Michigan from Maryland recently won $1,000,000 playing a Lucky Numbers instant win ticket.

A Bay County woman who had been playing Lotto 47 for 20 years with the same numbers hit it big and won $1.1 million.

And an Oakland County woman playing Fantasy 5 online accidentally selected a wrong number that ended up with her winning $250,000.
