LANSING, January 24, 2000 — Clean out your car, your wallet, your desk drawer, or wherever it is you keep your old Lottery tickets. One of your old Big Game tickets could very well be a $150,000 winner!
The soon-to-expire ticket was purchased at Rich’s Country Store, 6237 Bishop Road, in Lansing, for the February 5, 1999 Big Game drawing. This ticket matched the first five winning numbers in that night’s Big Game drawing: 02, 08, 14, 21, 27 and big money ball number 33.
Time is quickly running out for the lucky individual holding this ticket! Michigan Lottery on-line prizes are valid for a period of one year from the draw date. Since the one-year anniversary of the February 5, 1999 draw date falls on a Saturday, when Lottery offices are closed, the winner will have until the close of business, Monday, February 7, to claim his or her prize.
"I am urging each and every Lottery player who purchased a ticket at Rich’s Country Store in Lansing to take a couple minutes this weekend to check their old Big Game tickets," said Michigan Lottery Commissioner Don Gilmer. "The time you take to check your tickets could end up being the most valuable time you have ever spent!"
