Posted on June 15, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Winning TicketWhat an Oakland County man thought was his unlucky game turned out to be his lucky game after winning a $1.05 million progressive jackpot playing the Michigan Lottery’s Detroit Lions Rush For Riches Fast Cash game!

“Whenever I stop to get gas and the Fast Cash jackpot is over $700,000, I’ll buy a few tickets,” said the lucky 68-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “When I buy Fast Cash tickets, I hand the cashier money and tell them to give me any of the Fast Cash games, but lately I’ve been saying any except the Detroit Lions game because I hadn’t been having luck with it. I forgot to tell the cashier that this time, and the Detroit Lions game is what he printed for me. I never check my tickets right away, so I folded it up and put it in my pocket.

“The next morning when I looked over the ticket and saw I’d won the jackpot, I stopped my wife as she was walking by, handed her the ticket, and said: ‘You’re not going to believe this!’ Once she saw what I’d won, she started crying. It was an exciting and emotional day for us.

“All I’ve been thinking since winning is how glad I am that I forgot to tell the cashier not to give me the Detroit Lions game!”

The player bought his winning ticket at the Speedway gas station, located at 22380 Pontiac Trail in South Lyon. South Lyon is about 20 miles northeast of Ann Arbor. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to take care of his family.

Charlevoix County Woman Wins $100,000 a Year for Life from the Michigan Lottery Playing Millionaire For Life™

Posted on June 8, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Winning TicketA Charlevoix County woman thought the lottery scanner at the store was broken until she found out she’d won $100,000 a year for life playing the Michigan Lottery’s Millionaire For Life™ game.

The lucky 66-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the five white balls – 03-15-16-24-28 – in the May 21 drawing to win the big prize. The winning ticket was bought at the Mancelona North EZ Mart, located at 8150 US Highway 131 Northeast in Mancelona. Mancelona is about 35 miles northeast of Traverse City.

“I’ve been playing Millionaire For Life on and off since the game started earlier this year,” said the player. “I had an urge to buy a ticket while I was out and about one day, so I went to the closest store and bought one.

“The next day I scanned my ticket at a store, and a message came up to contact the lottery office. I thought the scanner was broken, so I went out to my car to check the numbers on MichiganLottery.com. I saw a winning ticket was purchased in Mancelona and then I saw I’d matched all five numbers. I yelled: ‘I just won $2.2 million!’ and did a happy dance in my car.”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of $2.2 million rather than payments of $100,000 a year for 20 years or life, whichever is greater. With her winnings, she plans to buy a house, a car, and a boat.

This prize marks the first time a Michigan Lottery player has won the second-tier prize of $100,000 a year for life since the Millionaire For Life game launched on Feb. 22.

For just $5 per play, Millionaire For Life gives players the chance to win prizes ranging from $8 up to a lifetime of cash. To win the game’s top prize of $1 million a year for life, players must match all five white ball numbers ranging from 1 to 58 and the Millionaire Ball number ranging from 1 to 5. Players who match all five white ball numbers, but not the Millionaire Ball, will win $100,000 a year for life. Drawings take place daily at 11:15 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com.

Washtenaw County Woman Wins $100,000 Poker Lotto Prize

Posted on June 4, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Winning TicketA Washtenaw County woman is packing her bags for Florida after winning $100,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Poker Lotto game.

The lucky 56-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched the cards drawn on May 16: 10 of clubs, king of hearts, ace of hearts, ace of diamonds, and king of diamonds. The player bought her winning ticket at Early Times Liquor Store, located at 2433 East Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti.

“I rarely play Poker Lotto, but I bought a ticket while I was at the store just because,” said the player. “I looked the ticket over after the drawing and wasn’t sure if I’d won anything, so I gave it to my son to check.

“When he told me I’d won $100,000, we both started yelling and jumping up and down! Since winning, I’ve tried to stay calm because I don’t want to let money change me, but it is pretty exciting to be here claiming $100,000!”

The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to take a trip to Florida, share with family, and pay bills.

“I don’t think it’s going to fully sink in that I won the lottery until I’m sitting on the beach in Florida in a few days. I’m buying my plane ticket as soon as I leave here!” the player said.

Poker Lotto offers players two great games in every hand: a chance to win a cash prize ranging from $2 to $500 instantly; plus, a nightly lotto drawing with prizes ranging from $3 to the grand prize of $100,000. Each Poker Lotto play is $2 and may be purchased at Lottery retailers across the state.

Players should keep in mind that the nightly drawing is an entirely separate game from the instant-win game played when they purchase a ticket. Winning the instant-win game is based on whether they are dealt a winning poker hand. The nightly drawing is exclusively a matching game. Cards from the nightly drawing are not used to form a winning poker hand. To win a prize in the nightly drawing, a player must match two or more cards with the cards drawn.

27-Year-Old Mackinac County Man Wins $2 Million Playing Michigan Lottery’s Two Million Dollar Cashword Instant Game

Posted on June 3, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Winning TicketA Mackinac County man’s ritual of buying a Two Million Dollar Cashword ticket before a road trip led to a huge payday when he won the game’s $2 million top prize!

“Every time I go on a road trip with family or friends, I buy a Two Million Dollar Cashword ticket to scratch on the drive,” said the lucky 27-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I was in Sault Sainte Marie with a friend, and we were getting ready to head home, so I stopped and got my ticket per usual. As I was getting in the car I said to my friend: ‘Do you think people ever actually win on these?’

“I scratched the ticket during the drive and didn’t realize until I was done scratching how many words I’d uncovered. I counted nine words a few times, so I thought I’d won $10,000 until I found a tenth word a few minutes later. When I realized I’d actually won $2 million, I’ll be honest, I cried like a baby! It still feels like a dream.”

The player bought his winning ticket at the Meijer gas station, located at 1106 West 3 Mile Road in Sault Sainte Marie. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. He chose to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With his winnings, he plans to take a vacation to Hawaii and invest.

Players have won more than $27 million playing Two Million Dollar Cashword, which launched in January. Each $30 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $30 up to $2 million.
