He hit lottery jackpot 9 years ago. Now ‘luckiest person in Michigan’ wins big again

Ronald Durham, a 64-year-old resident of southeast Michigan, has achieved an extraordinary milestone by claiming a significant lottery prize for the second time in less than ten years. Lottery officials have dubbed him the potentially "luckiest person in southeast Michigan" after his recent triumph in the Michigan Lottery.

Durham's journey to success began when he stopped by a convenience store in Southgate on May 2. As part of his daily routine, he purchased a Lucky For Life ticket, unaware of the incredible surprise that awaited him. On that fateful morning, Durham went online to check the winning numbers and was stunned to discover that he had won $25,000 a year for life.

Sharing his disbelief with lottery officials, Durham reflected on his previous lottery win in 2014. "In 2014, I won a $250,000 KENO! prize, so it's hard to believe I've won another big prize less than 10 years later! I feel like the luckiest person in Michigan," he expressed, emphasizing the remarkable turn of fortune that had bestowed upon him once again.

Instead of receiving annual payments of $25,000, Durham decided to opt for a one-time payment of $390,000. With this substantial sum in his hands, he intends to fulfill his passion for travel, embarking on new adventures and exploring the world. Additionally, he plans to save a portion of his winnings, ensuring a more secure and comfortable future.

Situated approximately 15 miles south of Detroit, Southgate has become the backdrop of Durham's incredible lottery success story. With his latest jackpot win, he has etched his name in the annals of Michigan's lottery history, standing as a testament to the extraordinary possibilities that lottery games present.
