Winning $300,000 in a Michigan Lottery $5 instant game – Diamond Wild Time – provided plenty of excitement for a 29-year-old Kent County resident.

The lucky winner, who chose to remain anonymous, claimed the big prize today and said the excitement of winning hadn’t left any time to think about what to do with money.

The winner said after the check is in the bank, and the reality of the big win sets in, there will be plenty of time to decide how to use the money.

This winning Diamond Wild Time instant ticket was purchased from the Fruit Ridge Citgo #15, located at 3050 Fruit Ridge Ave. NW in Walker.
