The last Michigan player to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis of Waterford, who won $ 70 million in February by playing Powerball. With her profit, Davis said she plans to buy a new home and car.
And while she was a lucky winner, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately, as a $ 1 million winner sold in Hartland in 2019 is unclaimed. The ticket was purchased at the Speedway in Hartland, but the winner never came forward to claim the prize. The money rather went to the state’s School Aid Fund.
