$18.41 Million Lotto 47 Jackpot Won; Winning Ticket Bought in Prudenville

Posted

LANSING, Mich., Aug. 2, 2021 – A Michigan Lottery player won big this weekend when their ticket matched the six numbers drawn in Saturday’s Lotto 47 drawing to win the game’s $18.41 million jackpot.

One ticket matched the winning Lotto 47 numbers drawn Saturday: 03-05-10-20-28-31. The winning ticket was bought at the Family E-Z Mart, located at 567 East Houghton Lake Drive in Prudenville. Prudenville is about 20 miles south of Grayling.

The player has two options to claim their prize:

  • 30 annuity payments of about $614,000 each
  • One-time cash payment of about $11.7 million

The Lotto 47 jackpot was last won in January when a Wayne County player won a $1.2 million jackpot. 

The lucky player should contact the Lottery’s Public Relations division at 517-373-1237 to setup an appointment to claim their prize. Lotto 47 tickets are valid for one year from the date of the drawing.

Each Lotto 47 play is only $1. Players select six numbers from one to 47 for a chance to win a jackpot starting at $1 million and that grows until someone wins it. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Lotto 47 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $1.5 million in the nightly Double Play drawing. For an additional $1 per game, players may add EZMatch to their ticket for a chance to win up to $500 instantly. Lotto 47 drawings take place on Wednesday and Saturday at 7:29 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at a retailer or online at MichiganLottery.com until 7:08 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
