Macomb County man wins $ 4 million player Michigan Lottery’s magnificent millions of instant games

Which Macomb County man thought was a non-winning magnificent million instant game ticket turned out to be worth being a life-changing price of $ 4 million.

“When I play instant games, I jump around when I scrape off the ticket,” said the player who chose to remain anonymous. “I thought I had scratched everything off and saw no winning matches, so I threw the ticket aside.

“The next time I stopped at a gas station, I took the ticket inside and scanned it just to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. When I scanned it and got the message to file a claim, I knew I had missed something on the ticket. When I looked at it again, I saw somewhere I forgot to scratch. When I revealed that I was a $ 4 million winner I went numb! “

“This incredible story is a great reminder to always double check your tickets to make sure you don’t miss a winner,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Scanning your tickets at a dealer or on the Michigan Lottery app is easy and want to make sure you never miss a life-changing price!”

The lucky 43-year-old player bought his winning ticket at 9 Mile Stop & Go, located at 28955 van Dyke in Warren. He recently visited the lottery headquarters to demand his big prize. He chose to receive his prize as a lump sum of approx. 2.7 million dollars rather than annuity payments for the full amount. He plans to save his winnings.

Players have won more than $ 31 million and play magnificent millions launched in September. Every $ 30 ticket gives players a chance to win prizes from $ 30 up to $ 4 million. More than $ 126 million in prizes are back, including two $ 4 million top prizes, $ 184 $ 5,000 prizes and $ 278 2,000 prizes.
