PAW PAW, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A Van Buren County man says winning $282,589 in the Michigan Lottery’s Fantasy 5 game is “life-changing”.
David Flory of Paw Paw matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the February 13 drawing to win the big prize. He bought his winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
According to Flory, “I logged in to my Lottery account and saw I had a couple dollars in there, so I decided to purchase a few Fantasy 5 tickets. The day after the drawing, I noticed I had gotten a few emails from the Lottery, but I didn’t think anything of it. When I got home that night and logged in to my account, I saw a notification for a pending prize. When I saw how much the prize was for, I jumped up and yelled: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’ ”
With his winnings, the 57-year-old Flory plans to pay off his mortgage and then save the remainder.
“Winning this prize is life-changing. It’s a great feeling knowing I can pay off all my bills and not have to worry about them anymore,” said Flory.
