LANSING, February 18, 1999 – Lisa Ray of Coopersville went wild when she found out that she had won the $30,000 top prize in the Michigan Lottery’s "Wild Time" instant game!

The 28-year-old winner purchased the winning ticket at Lemmen Oil Company #207, 13 Randall St., in Coopersville.

"At first I scratched off the ticket and realized the numbers matched," Ray said.  "When I saw what the prize was I just lost control!"

Ray said she has been playing Michigan Lottery games for the past 10 years.  She said she especially likes the instant and Daily games.  Prior to turning the winning ticket in at the Lottery’s regional office in Wyoming, Ray placed the ticket in her purse to keep it safe.  Ray said she plans to use her winning to pay bills.

"Wild Time" is just one of many Michigan Lottery instant tickets available at more than 9,300 Michigan Lottery retailers statewide.
