LANSING, February 4, 2008 – The three members of DMV Lottery Club have only been playing together for a couple of months and they’ve already had luck!

The Dean Arbour FLM employees from Alpena scratched their way to the top Super Gems prize of $200,000!

The winning club had the ticket in a safe prior to cashing it at Lottery Central in Lansing. Each member of the club plans on paying bills and saving their portion of the prize money.

The winning ticket was purchased at Diamonds Point Shell, 2404 US Highway 23 S., in Alpena.

Super Gems is just one of many Michigan Lottery Instant tickets available at nearly 11,000 Lottery retailers statewide.

Over 95 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets is returned to the state in the form of contributions to the state School Aid Fund, prizes to players and commissions to retailers. In fiscal year 2007, the contribution to schools was $748.9 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed more than $14.3 billion to education in Michigan.
