LANSING, January 5, 2007 – A very lucky Military man, who was home from Germany for Christmas, scratched off a $40,000,000 Spectacular ticket and won a $10,000 prize!

The lucky Instant ticket was purchased by Robert Trea’s father-in-law as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Trea plans to invest the prize money for his daughter’s education.

The winning ticket was purchased at Village Mini Market, 4497 N. Washington St., in Ubly.
