An Indian River woman and her husband have a daily ritual of purchasing a Club Keno ticket at their party store, and it paid off big time when they won $100,000!

Patricia Lange, 77, won $50,000 when her Club Keno numbers – 06-13-34-38-61-64-69-76-77-80 – matched 9 of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 2606168 on May 25. Thanks to the KICKER, her prize was multiplied to $100,000. Her husband bought the winning ticket their store, Pat & Gary’s Party Store, located at 3758 Straits Highway in Indian River. Indian River is about 30 miles north of Gaylord.

Winning Ticket“We are the owners of the party store, so every day we buy a Club Keno ticket while we’re there,” said Lange. “My husband bought this ticket and saw we’d won big while he was watching the drawings. He came home and woke me up, so I knew it must be important because he never wakes me up. When he told me we’d just won $100,000 on Club Keno, I couldn’t believe it! We were thrilled.”

Lange visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize. With her winnings, she plans to pay bills and restock their store for the busy summer season.

Club Keno gives players 37 different ways to play and win. Players select up to 10 numbers to match from one to 80, with prize amounts determined based on the amount the player wagered. Club Keno may be played at Lottery retailers across the state. Drawings are every three and a half minutes. Results and live drawings may be found online at MichiganLottery.com.

In 2025, Michigan Lottery players won more than $324 million playing Club Keno games.

St. Clair County Woman Wins $1 Million Playing Michigan Lottery’s King Cashword Instant Game

Posted on June 22, 2026 by MI-Lottery

A reroute due to road construction led a St. Clair County woman to a new store and a $1 million prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s King Cashword instant game.

“I play King Cashword all the time,” said the lucky 70-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “Almost every day I walk to the store down the road to get a King Cashword ticket, but this particular day it was too hot to go for a walk, so I decided to drive instead. There was a lot of construction going on near the store that made it hard to get to, so I ended up going to a different store in the area that I’d never been to.

“Later that night, I scratched the ticket and couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I saw the $1 million prize. I called my son and he told me to sit down because he thought I was going to have a heart attack! I had to go to the store to scan my ticket because I needed to see proof that this was real. Winning is amazing and life changing.”

The player bought her winning ticket at Speedy Q Markets, located at 2020 Water Street in Port Huron. She recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to buy a new house and a new car.

Players have won more than $47 million playing King Cashword, which launched in June 2025. Each $20 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $20 up to $1 million. More than $24 million in prizes remain, including one $1 million top prize, 12 $5,000 prizes, and 233 $1,000 prizes.

In 2025, Lottery players won more than $1.7 billion playing instant games.

Posted on June 16, 2026 by MI-Lottery

Winning TicketA Wayne County man made a last-minute lottery ticket purchase before closing time and won $500,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s new Emerald 7s instant game!

“I was on my way out of the store because they were closing soon, and I stopped at the lottery machine to buy a few tickets before I left,” said the lucky 58-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “A worker walked up to the machine to shut it down, so I quickly bought a few tickets, scratched the barcodes, and then scanned them at the machine to check them.

“When one came back with a message to file a claim, the worker told me I must have won big, so I got out my phone and scanned it using the Michigan Lottery app. As soon as I scanned it, she asked what was wrong because of the look on my face, so I told her I’d won $50,000. I looked down at my phone again and that’s when I realized it actually said $500,000! I had to go sit in my car and try to calm down because I was so excited and worked up that I couldn’t drive home. It was crazy!”

The player bought his winning ticket at the Kroger store, located at 39950 West 14 Mile Road in Commerce Township. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and then save the remainder.

“Winning $500,000 is a huge relief. I’m going to pay off every single bill I have and then decide what to do with the rest later,” the player said.

Players have won more than $2 million playing Emerald 7s, which launched this month. Each $5 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $5 up to $500,000. More than $19 million in prizes remain, including two $500,000 top prizes and 20 $1,000 prizes.
