After months of near misses and growing anticipation, the Lotto 47 jackpot has finally been won for the Michigan Lottery.

One lucky ticket purchased in Chesterfield matched all six of the winning numbers on Saturday, December 13, 2025, to win the $32.91 million prize, which happens to be the largest jackpot in the game's history. It took 67 drawings, but we finally found a Lotto 47 winner, so get the details below and see if you are holding onto that winning ticket.

Worth the long wait

Lotto 47 drawings take place twice a week in Michigan. The last jackpot winner for the Lotto 47 in-state draw game took place on April 23, 2025.

The game reset to $1 million for the April 26 drawing and has been growing ever since. It made it 67 drawings before another jackpot winner has been crowned.

The winning numbers for Saturday's drawing were 2, 3, 12, 15, 16, and 33. Lottery officials said one lucky ticket matched all six of the winning numbers to win the largest jackpot in the game's history, which had climbed all the way to $32.91 million.

The winning ticket was purchased at Wild Bill's Tobacco of Chesterfield, located at 46518 Gratiot Ave. in Chesterfield. If you happen to be holding onto this winning ticket, you have one year from the date of the draw to claim your winnings.

Top 10 Lotto 47 jackpots

This impressive jackpot run ended just one spot shy of being the biggest jackpot in the draw game's history. Here is a breakdown of the Top 10 Lotto 47 jackpots of all-time:

  1. $32.91 million – won on December 13, 2025.
  2. $32.3 million – won on November 7, 2020.
  3. $23.5 million – won on March 1, 2008.
  4. $22.6 million – won on February 18, 2017.
  5. $18.4 million – won on January 7, 2009.
  6. $18.4 million – won on July 31, 2021.
  7. $17 million – won on August 24, 2019.
  8. $13.3 million – won on August 14, 2013.
  9. $13.1 million – won on July 22, 2015.
  10. $12.7 million – won on July 1, 2009.

We haven't seen a Top 10 jackpot for Lotto 47 players since 2021. This 67-draw run was quite impressive, taking over the top spot by just $600,000.

What's next for Lotto 47

After the big win on Saturday, the Lotto 47 jackpot reset. It now returns to its starting prize level, which is $1 million, and a new jackpot run begins on Wednesday, December 17.

We normally see a dip in ticket sales after a big jackpot run. Or for some, they purchased multiple drawings and still have three more drawings left on their ticket, like me.

While this jackpot run ended on a high note for one lucky ticketholder in Chesterfield, it is a reminder to all Lotto 47 players. Even state games can deliver life-changing wins, even if it's not $1B+ jackpots like Powerball and Mega Millions.

Enjoy playing the Michigan Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
