In a stroke of incredible luck, a Michigan resident has won the largest lottery jackpot of the year after matching all six numbers in the Lotto 47 draw. The jackpot prize amounted to a life-changing $7.19 million.
The winning numbers drawn were 22, 24, 26, 40, 41, and 44. The fortunate winner purchased the winning ticket for just a dollar on payday, turning it into a multimillion-dollar windfall.
This recent win marks the third time in 2024 that the Lotto 47 jackpot has been hit. Previous substantial prizes this year were awarded on January 21 and 31, with two players winning $4.37 million and $1.1 million respectively.
