Michigan Man Wins $697,974 Jackpot in Fantasy 5 Game

In a staggering turn of events, a gentleman from Wayne County, Michigan, is savoring his slice of a whopping $697,974 jackpot win. This significant sum was claimed from the Michigan Lottery’s famed Fantasy 5 game.

The fortuitous winner shares his jackpot with two other players lucky enough to match the drawn numbers of 08-17-18-24-29. With the winning sum split evenly, each victor claims an incredible $232,658.

David Constantakis, a resident of Wayne County, bought his ticket in Frankfort during a vacation. The store of choice was the Family Fare at 1002 Forest Avenue. A casual trip for refreshments for a planned canoe trip turned out to be a moment that transformed his life!

While recalling his winning moment, Constantakis expressed his disbelief, ‘When my wife read off the closing digits of the drawn numbers, and I realized those were indeed the last two numbers on my ticket, I was in complete awe!’

Now, at 68, Constantakis not only enjoys a canoe trip that’s certainly unforgettable but also basks in the security of his well-deserved winnings. He aims to pay off his home and make generous donations, after saving the remainder.

The remaining winning shares of the Jackpot were claimed by players from Macomb County and Isabella County. The players preferred anonymity, adding a layer of intrigue to this lucky draw. The winning ticket was bought at Groesbeck & Elizabeth Petro in Clinton Township for the player from Macomb County, and the winner from Isabella County secured her winning ticket online.

Once again, the Michigan Lottery makes dreams come true, turning casual purchases or lucky hunches into incredible fortunes. This occurrence serves to remind us all, that truly, anything is possible.
