Mr. Maki bought a Fantasy 5 ticket from the Meijer store on his way home from work.
A Michigan resident in the US was finishing his daily office work when he received a message from his wife to bring some items from the grocery store. Preston Maki stopped at the store on his way back home, and the stop became a life-changing moment for him, as he won $190,736 in the lottery. Mr. Maki bought a Fantasy 5 ticket at Meijer’s shop and that ticket won him the jackpot. He tallied all the winning numbers drawn that evening: 05-12-16-17-29.
Preston Maki, 46, of Marquette told Michigan Lottery Officials said he would not have bought his Fantasy 5 ticket from the Meijer store in Marquette if it had not been for his wife’s message.
“I was finishing my day at work when my wife sent me a text message asking me to stop by for groceries on the way home,” Maki said. “I don’t usually play Fantasy 5 until the jackpot is over $200,000, but I saw it was close and decided to buy five easy picks.”
“The next morning, I was in the kitchen and scanned the ticket with the lottery’s mobile app and saw I was the jackpot winner! Winning is so unimaginable!”
Mr. Maki said that he wants to invest some of his earnings and share some with his family.
