Michigan man wins lottery after following his father’s advice

Mothers and fathers give their children all kinds of advice to help them make the best possible decisions as they move through life.

A Michigan man followed his father’s simple advice and his life improved dramatically.

A 38-year-old man from Wayne County, Michigan, won the Michigan Lottery’s record-breaking $7.19 million Lotto 47 jackpot by following his father’s advice.

The anonymous winner played Lotto 47 for years and often changed his numbers.

However, his father had advised him to choose a series of numbers and stick with it.

The anonymous man listened to his father’s advice and played the same numbers online for several years.

Recently, those numbers – 22-24-26-40-41-44 – turned out to be the winning combination that secured him the largest prize he had ever claimed on the Michigan Lottery website.

The winner initially thought he had won a smaller prize when he received an email notification from the lottery.

But when he logged into his account, he was stunned to see that there was a jackpot of $7.19 million pending.

What will he do with his winnings?

If you win the lottery, in most cases you have two options

You can receive the money in a one-time lump sum payment or in the form of annuity payments. The man opted for a one-time lump sum payment of approximately $4.9 million.

He plans to invest his winnings and contribute to his children’s college fund.
