All I can say is winning is unbelievable and I feel humbled and grateful!” “Learning you’ve won $5 million in the middle of the night is the type of thing Lottery players dream about, and it became a reality for Mr. Fergerson,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Congratulations to Tyrone, Michigan’s newest millionaire — thanks to the Michigan Lottery’s Mega Millions game!” Fergerson visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize.
