LANSING, February 13, 2003 – A Lowell man went wild with excitement upon scratching off a Michigan Lottery "Casino Wild" instant ticket to reveal a $100,000 top prize!

"I scratched off the ticket and knew right away I had a winner," said the lucky man.  "I screamed and yelled with excitement!"

The lucky 34-year-old winner, who requested anonymity, purchased the winning ticket at Gas 4 Less, 2625 Alpine Ave. NW, in Walker.

The winner, who enjoys golfing and watching sports in his spare time, said he kept the winning ticket locked in a safe prior to turning it in at Lottery headquarters in Lansing.  He added that he plans to use part of his winnings to buy a new car and new clothes.

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