A Genesee County man’s dream of winning a big second chance prize came true when he won $100,000 playing the $300,000,000 Extraordinaire second chance game!

The 59-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, won $100,000 after he was selected in a random drawing that took place Dec. 17. He earned entries into the giveaway by scanning non-winning $300,000,000 Extraordinaire tickets on the Michigan Lottery app.

“I’ve won a few smaller prizes in second chance drawings before, and always thought to myself: ‘It would be so cool to win one of the big $100,000 prizes,’” said the player. “When I got an email telling me I’d won a $100,000 prize, all I could think was: ‘This has got to be a joke.’ I can’t believe it actually happened!”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and then save the remainder.

Each non-winning $300,000,000 Extraordinaire ticket is eligible for a second chance to win a $100,000 prize. Players can enter by scanning their non-winning $300,000,000 Extraordinaire tickets on the Michigan Lottery mobile app ticket scanner by May 2, 2025. Four more second chance drawings will be conducted. Each drawing will award two $100,000 prizes.
