I'm not sure about Michigan but if you did that in FL you would only be splitting the jackpot with yourself.

You can claim anonymous for state games in Michigan and he didn't do that. To each their own I guess.......

When it's your time to shine, nobody and nothing can stop you. Even a booboo will come up smelling like roses.

Congratulations that was a neat surprise.

He visited Lottery headquarters in Lansing recently to claim his prize, which he plans on using to buy a new truck and spoil his grandchildren. He'll save whatever is left over.

At 68 years, that's a good plan, got to spend some money and make memories while still strong.

I think maybe the winner should retire that set of numbers and come up with a new set, but again, who knows, lightning may strike twice at the same spot.

Vacation mindset is actually the grindset

By Kate Northrop

Make no mistake an accident on part of a Michigan man who didn't mean to buy two Fantasy 5 lottery tickets seriously benefited from the blunder after it won him two $110,000 prizes.

It was nothing but good times for one Michigan vacationer who mistakenly bought two identical Fantasy 5 tickets and happened to win twice.
