Dreams turned into reality for an anonymous 73-year-old Genesee County resident. He was the fortunate individual to claim an impressive $313,197, representing half of the substantial $626,394 Fantasy 5 jackpot, courtesy of a serendipitous lottery ticket.

The fateful day was October 6, when this fortunate player found that the numbers 04-07-13-28-33 on his Fantasy 5 ticket perfectly aligned with the winning numbers drawn.

This secured him a 50% share of the magnificent $626,394 jackpot. It was at Pineview Shell, a well-known establishment situated at 5520 North Genesee Road in Flint, where this golden ticket was acquired.

Upon realizing the win, the man's initial reaction was disbelief. He recounted, "I checked my Fantasy 5 ticket after the drawing and thought to myself: 'Wow! There is no way I really matched all the numbers.'" The exhilarating news was too monumental to keep to himself, prompting him to instantly share it with his wife. They both meticulously examined the ticket several times before accepting the reality they had emerged as lucky winners. For this couple, the impact of this jackpot is nothing less than life-altering.

With this unexpected windfall, the fortunate winner intends to settle outstanding bills, while prudently allocating the remaining sum to bolster their savings. A truly well-deserved and transformative moment in their lives.
