Feb. 2 (UPI) —<\/span> A Michigan man who won a $430,194 lottery jackpot said he had thought he didn’t win anything from the drawing because he had forgotten buying extra tickets online.<\/p>\n The 56-year-old Ingham County man told Michigan Lottery officials he regularly plays the Fantasy 5 drawing using tickets bought both at stores and online.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n “I usually buy a few Fantasy 5 tickets at the store and a few online,” the player said. “I checked my in-store tickets Sunday night and thought I didn’t win anything this drawing, forgetting about my online tickets.”<\/p>\n The man said it wasn’t until the next day that he checked his email while eating breakfast.<\/p>\n “I was scrolling through my emails Monday morning while I was eating breakfast and saw a prize notification email from the Michigan Lottery. After reading the email, I knew it had to be a big prize. I logged in to my lottery account to verify the prize and was stunned when I saw the amount pending. I woke my wife up right away to tell her what we’d won,” the man said.<\/p>\n The online ticket watched all five numbers from the Jan. 23 drawing: 05-10-18-20-23. The player won a $430,194 prize.\n<\/p>\n “Winning is such a blessing! Whenever I log in to my account and see the amount pending, it doesn’t seem real. I don’t think it will hit me until I see the money in my bank account,” he said.<\/p>\n The winner said his prize money will allow him to complete some home renovations, share with family and donate to charity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Michigan man said he checked his store-bought Fantasy 5 tickets after a recent lottery drawing and thought he hadn’t won anything, but he later realized he had won $430,194 from another ticket he had forgotten purchasing online.
