The fortunate player achieved this significant win by matching five white balls along with a 3X multiplier during Friday night's draw. The numbers drawn were 15, 37, 38, 56, and 58, and the successful ticket was purchased online through MichiganLottery.com.

She added, "The enhanced Mega Millions game will bring players bigger jackpots more often, which will generate sales and have a positive impact on the Lottery’s contribution to the School Aid Fund."
The winner is instructed to reach out to the Lottery's Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to claim the prize, which must be done within a year from the draw date.
