The record-setting prize surpasses the previous Lotto 47 high of $32.3 million, which was split between two winners in November 2020. Officials say this year’s jackpot marks the third major win for Lotto 47 in 2025, following smaller prizes earlier in the year.
“We’re excited for the fortunate player who secured this historic prize,” a Michigan Lottery representative said. “We encourage them to contact our Player Relations division as soon as possible to begin the claiming process.”
The winner must come forward within one year of the draw to claim the prize, lottery officials confirmed. Players are reminded that Lotto 47 tickets cost $1 per play and drawings occur every Wednesday and Saturday evening.
This remarkable win has sparked excitement among residents of Macomb County and beyond, as local businesses and lottery enthusiasts celebrate the historic payout. With the holiday season underway, the unexpected windfall has captured widespread attention and imagination.
