(This story has been updated to reflect the correct drawing date.)
Michigan's winners of $250,000 prizes in recent Mega Millions lottery drawings are starting to collect, including a couple from Pinckney, according to a report on Mlive.com.
Erik Hennigan collected his prize with his fiancee, who wasn't named by Michigan Lottery officials.
From the Michigan Lottery
Erik Hennigan and his fiancee - who wasn't named by lottery officials - collected their winnings on Monday.
They used a personal formula to choose the winning combination for the March 20 drawing.
From the MLive story:
"If we had played the age we will be when we get married (30) as our Mega number, we would have won the jackpot," (Hennigan) told the lottery.
That jackpot: $241 million, a bit shy of the record-setting $656 million.

Of course she wasn't named by Michigan Lottery officials. Her parents did that years ago.

I know. This comment is outdated. I was the one who pointed out the error and they removed my comment that said so, but I'm unable to delete this one.

They won in an earlier drawing. They just claimed it recently.
