A Ypsilanti man won a $351,180 jackpot playing his fortune cookie numbers.

The lucky player bought his winning ticket at the Express Mart Party Shopp on 5490 West Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti. There, he matched the Fantasy 5 number to Friday's drawing: 04-11-21-28-38.

“I’ve been playing these numbers for a long time,” said the anonymous 61-year-old player. “I don’t remember when I got that fortune cookie, but I do remember thinking the numbers looked lucky, so I went with it."

The lottery winner said before he checked his ticket, he was celebrating the fact that his granddaughter passed her driver's test.

"After they left, I checked my ticket and got incredibly nervous when I saw I matched all five numbers," said the player. "I had to convince everyone I was the winner because no one would believe me."

The player came forward Monday at the Michigan Lottery headquarters to collect his prize. He plans on paying bills, helping family, taking a trip and then putting the rest into his savings.

“I’m probably on the hook for a new car for my granddaughter. This is a lot of money and I’ve got to do the right thing with it,” the player said.
