Isabella County man changes his lottery purchase, wins $ 500K jackpot

Lansing, Mi – A man in Isabella County says he decided to play Michigan Lottery’s Lincoln Instant Game after watching his wife have a luck on the game recently. It ended up being an extremely smart decision as he ended up winning a $ 500,000 jackpot.

“I typically buy drawing game tickets and my wife plays immediate games,” said the 56-year-old winner who chose to remain anonymous. “She had had good luck with the Lincoln game, so I decided to skip the drags and just get Lincoln tickets.

“I gave the tickets to my wife to scratch, and when she didn’t wear her glasses, she handed one to me and asked, ‘What does that mean?’ As she pointed to the money symbol. I said ‘this’ is a really, really big winner! “

The winner bought his ticket at Winn Ez Mart, located at 7961 Winn Road in Winn, about 10 miles southwest of Mount Pleasant. The winner says he plans to save his winnings.

The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Million or Powerball Jackpot is The Breakfast Club Lottery Club, who demanded a $ 842 million jackpot in June 2024. Members plan to spend the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

And even though they were lucky winners, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a mega million winner worth $ 1 million sold in Southfield in 2023 was not -required. Instead, the money went to the State School Aid Fund.
