Marquette Man Wins $190,000 On Michigan Lottery Game

A Marquette man named Preston Maki won $190,736 jackpot playing the Michigan Lottery’s Fantasy 5 game.

Maki matched all five winning numbers drawn that evening: 05-12-16-17-29.

He bought the winning ticket at the Meijer store, located at 3630 U.S. 41 West in Marquette. The store will receive a bonus of $5000 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket. 

“I was finishing up my day at work when my wife sent me a text message asking me to make a stop for groceries on my way home,” said Maki.

“I usually don’t play Fantasy 5 unless the jackpot is more than $200,000, but I saw it was close and decided to buy five easy picks.

The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize.
