A Wayne County man gave the Michigan Lottery’s $4,000,000 Winner instant game a shot after finding out none of the top prizes had been claimed yet and then won a $4 million top prize!

“I like playing the $30 games and saw on the prizes remaining page on MichiganLottery.com that $4,000,000 Winner still had all three top prizes remaining, so I went to the store to buy a ticket,” said the 50-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “The store had three $4,000,000 Winner tickets left, so I bought all three, scratched the barcodes, and scanned the tickets.

“One of the tickets came back with a message to file a claim, so I knew I had to have won one of the big prizes, but I was too nervous to scratch the ticket. The next day, once I calmed down a bit, I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app and started screaming when $4 million came up on the screen! It was unreal.”

“Checking the instant games prizes remaining page on MichiganLottery.com led this lucky player to trying a new game and scoring an incredible $4 million win!” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Congratulations to Michigan’s newest millionaire on his life-changing prize!”

The player bought his winning ticket at Superior Market, located at 5700 Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor. 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 $2.7 million, rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With his winnings, he plans to pay off his home, take a trip, and then save the remainder.

Players have won more than $72 million playing $4,000,000 Winner, which launched in December 2023. Each $30 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $30 up to $4 million.

An Oakland County woman was frozen in the Kroger parking lot after finding out she won $4 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Electric 300s instant game!

“I play scratch-off tickets all the time and the $30 tickets are my favorite,” said the 77-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I scratched the ticket in my car in the store parking lot when I was done shopping. When I saw I won $4 million, I was frozen in my seat for a while.

“I told my husband when I got home, and he had a hard time believing it even after looking the ticket over. We haven’t told anyone about our big win, but plan to surprise our family with the news soon!”

“The Michigan Lottery offers more than 100 instant games which give players the chance to win life-changing prizes,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “In this case, the lucky player went grocery shopping and left the store a millionaire! It is great to hear that she plans to use her big win to help others by donating and sharing with her family.”

The player bought her winning ticket at the Kroger store, located at 670 Highland Avenue in Milford. She recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as annual payments of about $133,000 for the next 30 years rather than a one-time lump sum payment of $2.7 million. With her winnings, she plans to complete some home repairs, donate, and share with family.

A Montcalm County woman “screamed for 30 minutes straight” after winning $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Electric 100s instant game!

“I scratched the ticket while I was on the phone with my daughter and when I scratched off the lightbulb symbol with ‘$1MIL’ next to it, I started screaming,” said the 57-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “My daughter thought something bad had happened because I kept yelling ‘No way!’

“When I told her I won $1 million, she didn’t believe it, and honestly, I didn’t believe it either. I scanned it on the Lottery app and when $1 million came up, I think I screamed for 30 minutes straight! I’m still in awe and I can’t believe I’m actually here claiming $1 million.”

“Congratulations to this lucky player who is the first top-prize winner on the Electric 100s game, which is a part of the Electric family of instant games that launched earlier this month,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “The Electric family of games is not only giving players a shot at millions in prizes instantly, but players can also enter non-winning tickets into a second-chance drawing for the opportunity to win $1 million later this year at a Detroit Tigers game!”
