Excitement is brewing in Dearborn Heights as an 81-year-old local named Peter Kour has just become one of the lucky winners of the Michigan Lottery’s Fantasy 5. This isn’t just any win, folks! Peter’s ticket matched the winning numbers from the October 7 drawing, which were 9, 16, 18, 27, and 35, giving him a share of the jackpot worth a whopping $262,226. That means Peter walks away with an impressive $131,113!

Winning Ticket Purchased Right Here!

Peter bought his lucky ticket at Belmont Services, located at 22110 Ford Road in Dearborn Heights. But here’s the twist! Peter is not the only one celebrating this week. Another ticket purchased at Mike’s Taylor Petro Mart, found at 21037 Ecorse Road in Taylor, also matched those winning numbers. What does that mean? Well, it means the jackpot will be split evenly between the two winners. Sharing is caring, after all!

A Daily Routine Pays Off

So what led to this delightful victory? Peter is not a casual lottery player—oh no! He plays Fantasy 5 every single day. That’s some serious commitment! “I looked up the winning numbers on the Lottery app after the drawing,” Peter shared with excitement. “I said to my wife: ‘I think I may have won half of the jackpot!’”

But here’s where the story takes a classic lottery winner twist. They didn’t jump up and down just yet. You see, Peter had experienced the heartbreak of being just one number off in previous games. Can you imagine the suspense? “We didn’t get too excited at first because I have been one number off a few times,” he recalled. “So, we thought maybe that was the case. After looking over the winning numbers and my ticket a few more times, we knew it was real!”

What’s Next for Peter and his Wife?

After confirming his exciting windfall, Peter couldn’t wait to claim his prize. So, what does he plan to do with his newfound fortune? According to Peter, he has some wonderfully sweet plans for his wife. “I’m going to send her on a shopping spree!” he said, beaming with joy. Talk about a thoughtful husband!

But that’s not all. Peter intends to save the rest of the winnings for a rainy day. How responsible! It’s heartwarming to see someone with such wisdom about managing newfound wealth. After all, any extra cash can go a long way, especially in the current times.
