The 54-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, won $100,000 after she was selected in a random drawing that took place May 28. She earned entries into the giveaway by scanning non-winning 500X Money Maker tickets on the Michigan Lottery app.
“I scanned a lot of 500X Money Maker tickets for the drawing,” said the player. “I was speechless when I saw an email from the Michigan Lottery saying I’d won $100,000. I had to call the Lottery to make sure it was real because I didn’t believe it. It’s still hard to believe, but it’s starting to sink in a little bit being at the Lottery office claiming my prize!”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to invest her winnings.
Each non-winning 500X Money Maker ticket is eligible for a second chance to win a prize ranging from $500 up to $100,000. Players may enter by scanning their non-winning tickets on the Michigan Lottery mobile app ticket scanner by June 21, 2024. One more second chance drawing will be conducted. The drawing will award:
- One winner of $100,000
- Five winners of $10,000
- Twenty winners of $1,000
- Sixty winners of $500
