PLYMOUTH, Mich. (WXYZ) — There is only one week left for the winner of a $25,000 a year for life Lucky for Life prize to claim the cash.

A lucky player matched the five white balls drawn – 15-18-25-31-35 – in the Jan. 1, 2018 drawing to win the prize.

The winning ticket was sold at the Picnic Basket, located at Ann Arbor Road in Plymouth.

The winner has two choices to collect the big prize:

  • Annual payments for a minimum of 20 years or life, whichever is greater, or
  • A one-time lump sum cash payment of $390,000

The winner should contact the Michigan Lottery Public Relations Division at (517) 373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery's headquarters in Lansing.

Tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date. Since Jan. 1 is a holiday, the prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on Jan. 2. If the prize isn't claimed before the ticket expires, the money will go to the state School Aid Fund.
