A Montcalm County woman’s workday took an unexpected turn when she got an email from the Michigan Lottery and found out she won a $130,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot!

Elizabeth LaCroix, of Edmore, matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the May 27 drawing to win the big prize: 04-05-06-08-12. She bought her winning ticket online at Michiganmilotteryconnect.bingoextra.net.

“I have been playing Fantasy 5 for a while and I always buy my tickets online,” said LaCroix. “I was at work when an email from the Michigan Lottery came up on my phone saying I won a prize. I assumed it was a few dollars, but I logged in to my to see how much I’d won.

“When I saw $130,000 in my balance, I started screaming! I showed my coworker to make sure I was seeing things right and then sent a screenshot to my husband. It was hard to get back to work after because I was so shaken up!”

LaCroix, 56, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her jackpot. With her winnings, she plans to add an addition on to her house.

Each Fantasy 5 play is only $1. For an additional $1 per play, EZmatch may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a chance to win up to $500 instantly. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Fantasy 5 ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $110,000 in the nightly Double Play drawing.
