In the ongoing pursuit of making 2021 the most remarkable year for Michigan Lottery winners, two fortunate individuals have contributed significantly. Recently, a woman from Bay County and another unidentified person both achieved an extraordinary feat by winning the progressive jackpot in the Michigan Lotto 47 game, all within the span of two weeks.
2021 has the potential to surpass the record for MI Lottery winners of prizes worth at least $1 million, given the current rate. However, maintaining such a high level of success within the remaining limited calendar time is quite challenging.
Michigan Lotto 47 winners add to this year’s growing tally
Before the October 30th drawing, a resident of Bay County, Michigan, aged 52, purchased a solitary ticket from Dore’s Party Store located on South Huron in Kawkawlin. The progressive jackpot for the draw game was valued at $1.63 million at that time.
The woman’s ticket had the exact numbers that were drawn: 4-7-12-13-30-32. This unexpected win brought extra excitement to her holiday, and she decided to keep her identity a secret.
According to a news release from the Michigan Lottery, she exclaimed, “Upon checking my ticket on Halloween, I was genuinely astounded by what I saw. To eliminate any doubts, I asked my husband to verify it. The idea of winning has often crossed my mind, but I never truly believed it would come true. It honestly feels like I’m living in a dream!”
After visiting a MI Lottery claim center, she opted for the lump sum payment of approximately $1.1 million. Expressing her intention to invest the unexpected fortune, another player who purchased a ticket for the same game may soon follow suit with comparable decisions.
A Lotto 47 ticket was purchased on November 13th, which successfully matched all the numbers in the drawing held at Mack’s Vandyke Mini Mart located on Mack Ave in Detroit. The jackpot was estimated to be worth $1.15 million, and the winning numbers were 10-11-27-38-40-42.
As soon as you have the ticket, make sure to safely secure it without delay. Afterward, reach out to a trustworthy attorney and financial adviser who can guide and support you in the most optimal manner to claim your prize.
The individual is the most recent addition to a club that has been expanding throughout the year in MI. To be precise, this club consists of individuals who have won lottery prizes worth seven or more figures in the Great Lakes State.
2021 continues to bring it for lottery players
With these recent victories, the number of wins in 2021 has exceeded 50, inching closer to reaching record-breaking territory. In 2019, a total of 57 lottery players received prizes of at least $1 million before taxes. Even if there are no further wins of such magnitude in 2021, this year will securely hold the second position.
Amount Of $1 Million+ Michigan Lottery Prizes
| Year | Count |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 58 |
| 2020 | 48 |
| 2019 | 57 |
| 2018 | 45 |
| 2017 | 38 |
| 2016 | 46 |
| 2015 | 38 |
| 2014 | 27 |
| 2013 | 32 |
| 2012 | 25 |
| 2011 | 17 |
| 2010 | 16 |
| 2009 | 5 |
Prizes have been reported up until December 13, 2021.
With approximately six weeks remaining in the year, achieving the record-breaking feat will necessitate a series of rapid victories. However, there are a couple of reasons that make the chances of this happening highly unlikely.
Initially, the chances of achieving such victories are extremely unlikely. Take Lotto 47 as an example, where the likelihood of matching all six numbers in a single draw is 1 in 10,737,573. Additionally, numerous instant-win games also present opportunities to win prizes surpassing one million.
When a player claims a significant victory, it reduces the number of remaining opportunities. Due to responsible gambling considerations, it is not recommended to hastily purchase numerous lottery tickets with the intention of setting a new record. However, if the last few weeks of 2021 surpass that milestone, it would undoubtedly result in joyful holidays for some residents or visitors in Michigan.
