LANSING, July 23, 2002 – Robert Crum of Warren went wild with excitement after playing the Michigan Lottery’s "Wild Wild Time" instant game! The lucky man scratched off the ticket he recently purchased to reveal a $30,000 top prize.

The winning ticket was purchased at Warren Market, 28069 Mound Road, in Warren.

"I scratched off the ticket while I was at home on a Sunday evening," the winner said. "I was really surprised to see I had won $30,000!"

The lucky 67-year-old retiree, who enjoys watching sports and listening to music in his free time, said he kept the ticket hidden in a drawer in his home before turning it in at the Lottery’s regional office in Sterling Heights. He added that he plans to use his winnings to pay bills.

"Wild Wild Time" is just one of many Michigan Lottery instant games available at more than 9,000 Michigan Lottery retailers statewide.
