💵 Michigan Woman Wins $310K Fantasy 5 Jackpot After Breakfast Stop
A 54-year-old woman from Washtenaw County got the surprise of a lifetime after winning nearly $310,000 in the Fantasy 5 lottery game — all thanks to a spontaneous stop at a gas station after breakfast.
🎉 From $10 Expectations to a $309,989 Payday
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, matched all five numbers in the July 12, 2025 Fantasy 5 drawing:
13 – 18 – 23 – 28 – 33
She bought the lucky ticket at Belleville Amoco, located at 10950 Belleville Road in Belleville, Michigan.
“I usually buy my tickets online, but I went out for breakfast that morning, so I stopped at a store to buy a ticket while I was out,” she recalled.
📱 “Stunned” by the Result
That evening, while watching TV, the woman scanned her ticket using the Michigan Lottery app, expecting maybe a small win.
“I thought it might be $10 or something,” she said.
“When $309,989 popped up on the screen, I was stunned. This jackpot prize is such a blessing!”
💬 What She Plans to Do with the Money
The lucky winner has already claimed her prize at Michigan Lottery headquarters. She shared that she plans to:
-
Help her daughter pay off student loans
-
Pay some bills
-
Save the rest of the money
