Wayne County Man Wins Big On A Scratch Off
Michigan Lottery: Wayne County man wins $500K on scratch off ticket bought in Detroit
Trying out a different game paid off for a Wayne County man who won $500,000 playing the $25 Million Cash Payout instant game from the Michigan Lottery.
The lucky 63-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased his winning ticket at JCJ Food, located at 1549 East Nevada Street in Detroit.
“I usually only play $20 instant tickets, but I decided to purchase a few $5 tickets on a whim,” said the player. “I started scratching the tickets when I got home and saw I’d matched a number. When I revealed the winning amount of $500,000, I was in disbelief! I’ve been playing for years hoping to win big and I can’t believe it finally happened.”
The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay off his home and travel to Florida.
