Michigan Lottery Player Nearly Hits $1.059 Billion Jackpot, Misses by One Number
A recent Powerball drawing saw a fortunate player in Michigan secure a $1 million prize, falling just short of a staggering $1.059 billion jackpot. The drawing took place on Saturday, December 13, with the winning numbers being 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58. The participant missed the jackpot by not matching the red Powerball number, which was 16.
Winning Ticket Details
The winning ticket was purchased at Court Street Party Market, located at 1101 Court St, Cheboygan, Michigan. The fortunate winner has a year from the drawing date to claim the prize. To do so, they must visit the Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing.

The winner is encouraged to reach out to the Michigan Lottery’s Player Relations division at 1-844-917-6325 to set up an appointment for claiming their winnings.
Upcoming Powerball Drawings
