Brian Jorgensen is a man from Muskegon, Michigan, USA (Just outside of Grand Rapids). He plays the Fantasy 5 game from Michigan Lottery. On the December 3, 2009 draw, Brian won big - $305,225!
Fantasy 5 is actually a pretty cool game because it has decent odds. To play the game, you must choose 5 numbers, from 1 to 39. The odds of matching all five numbers to win the jackpot, which is what Brian Jorgensen did, are 1-in-575,757. On the surface, those might not look like decent odds. But compare it to the odds on the Mega Millions, Michigan's most popular lotto game - The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1-in-175,711,536. Consider this - If you buy just one ticket for each of the two games, you are 305 times more likely to win on the Fantasy 5 ticket. Amazing, isn't it?
The Fantasy 5 jackpot starts at $100,000. It grows buy at least $5000, per draw, if the jackpot is not won. It has been known to climb into the hundreds of thousands of dollars level.
Congratulations to Brian Jorgensen on his $305,225 win!
