LANSING, May 15, 2007 – Jeffrey Bushong is a very lucky Redford Twp. man!  He matched four white ball numbers and the gold ball in the May 1 Mega Millions drawing to win a $10,000 third-tier prize!

The salesman was in disbelief after a retailer scanned his ticket and told him he was a big winner.  He plans to use the easy pick winnings to pay bills.

The lucky winning ticket was purchased at HND Party Hut, 26968 Plymouth Rd., in Redford.
