Stories like this one, the recent $32.91 million Lotto 47 record just months ago, and the Macomb County guy who stuck with his numbers for 20 years show that persistence can pay off big in this game.

I called a few family members and my neighbor to tell them the big news.

They say don't tell anyone if you win, but am sure the neighbor has to be a close friend, because they even told them the local store sold a winning ticket.

Congratulations on the win.

Now all you people that say you only need one line, well, I guess I need to up my game.

Went to the store to get my PB ticket for Saturday, tried as hard as I could, but the only words that left my mouth were I will get one P... [ More ]

By Kate Northrop

A Michigan lottery player said she's faithfully played Lotto 47 in the max two drawings a week since the game began decades ago, and she couldn't believe it when a $1.1 million jackpot finally came her way.
