LANSING, February 1, 2000 — Tax season is in full swing, and the Michigan Lottery has a very big return for one lucky Lottery player — if he or she comes forward in time! An unclaimed Big Game Lottery prize is set to expire soon and Lottery officials hope to hear from the winner before it’s too late. The prize is:
Draw Date |
February 5, 1999 |
Game |
The Big Game |
Winning Numbers |
02-08-14-21-27 gold 33 |
Prize |
$150,000 (match first 5) |

"We want to spread the word to every Michigan Lottery player — check your tickets," said Michigan Lottery Commissioner Don Gilmer. "We hate to see any prize go unclaimed, and this one could really put someone in great shape for the coming year!"
Michigan Lottery players have one year from the draw date to claim any on-line prize. Because the one-year anniversary of this Big Game ticket falls on a Saturday when Lottery offices are closed, that ticket-holder will have until the close of business on Monday, February 7 to claim the prize.
If Michigan Lottery prizes are not claimed within the one-year period, they revert to the state School Aid Fund. For more information about any unclaimed Michigan Lottery prize, players can call (517) 335-5640.
