The man who chose to remain anonymous told Michigan Lottery officials that he matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the June 3 drawing to win the big prize of $358,122.

“Every now and then I will play Fantasy 5 online, so I’m familiar with the emails that come through when you win a few bucks. I saw an email about a prize and just assumed I’d won a few dollars again.

“Later that day when I logged on to my account to do my Daily Spin to Win, I couldn’t believe it when a pop-up came up saying I won $358,122. It was amazing!”

With his newfound winnings he plans on paying bills, getting a new car, and sharing some with his kids.

Could you just imagine what that would be like to log in to see that you were a winner and then you see that huge amount of money with your name on it?

I would probably faint or pass out from shock.

This lucky winner isn't the only person to win big 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 resulted in her winning $250,000.
