Sometimes taking that fatherly advice will pay off big time.<\/p>\n

This was the case for one anonymous 38-year-old man from Wayne County, Michigan, who recently played the state’s Lotto 47 game and walked away with a $7.19 million prize \u2014 after heeding some bold advice from his dad.<\/p>\n

“I have been playing Lotto 47 for a long time, and would always switch up my numbers,” the man told the Michigan Lottery, in a release<\/a>. “One day, my dad told me I should pick a set of numbers and stick with them, so that’s what I did. I purchased an online subscription and have been playing the same set of numbers for a few years.”<\/p>\n

On May 22, he played the same numbers in the game that he had been told to stick to after purchasing a ticket online \u2014 22-24-26-40-41-44.<\/p>\n

To his disbelief, he received an email saying that he had won.<\/p>\n

“I was in total shock and instantly thought how my dad had been right,” the man said. “It still hasn’t sunk in that I’m a millionaire!”<\/p>\n

The anonymous player chose to receive his payout as a lump sum, which came out to roughly $4.9 million after taxes, with plans to invest the “surreal” amount of money and put some away in college funds for his children.<\/p>\n

According to the Michigan Lottery, the May 22 win was the largest prize ever won through the state’s site, MichiganLottery.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though this man publicly praised his dad’s strategy, not all lottery players have been as open with their family members about big wins.<\/p>\n

An anonymous man who<\/a> won a $22 million jackpot told Dave Ramsey on “The Ramsey Show” last fall that he and his wife never told his two children that he won.<\/p>\n

“My wife and I made a conscious decision to just kind of keep it under wraps,” the anonymous caller explained. “We haven’t even told our two teenage children. And I know that sounds strange but we just don’t want them to grow up to be waiters, you know, waiting for us to die so they can get our money.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
