A Macomb County man is “set for life” after winning $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s new Cash Train instant game!

“I bought a Cash Train ticket when the game first came out and won $50, so when I was cashing out at the party store a few weeks later, I bought another ticket,” said the lucky 73-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I scratched all the numbers on the ticket first, and once I was done, I scratched the winning amount. As soon as I saw letters instead of numbers where the prize amount was printed, I knew I won big! I started shaking and couldn’t believe it was real.

“You never think this type of thing will happen to you, so I’m still in disbelief. Thanks to my big win, I’m financially set for life.”

The player bought his winning ticket at Country Party Store, located at 23750 Greater Mack Avenue in Saint Clair Shores. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. He chose to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount. He plans to save his winnings.

Players have won more than $6 million playing Cash Train, which launched in July. Each $10 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $10 up to $1 million. More than $39 million in prizes remain, including two $1 million top prizes, 19 $10,000 prizes, and 71 $1,000 prizes.

In 2025, Lottery players won more than $1.7 billion playing instant games.

Lottery instant games may be purchased at retailers across the state.
