Daily Lottery ticket purchase leads to $500,000 win for Chippewa County man

LANSING, MI — A Chippewa County man has plans of retirement in the near future after he recently won a $500,000 prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s $500,000 Cash Multiplier instant game.

“I buy instant tickets every day, typically on my way to work,” said the 59-year-old winner who chose to remain anonymous. “The gas station I usually stop at had a new person working, and I said: ‘The new clerk is going to sell me a big winner today!’ When I scratched off the ticket and saw the $500,000 prize, I had to count the zeros multiple times to make sure I was reading it right. I was so happy I almost cried!”

The winner bought his ticket at the Detour EZ Mart, located at 169 Ontario Street in De Tour Village, roughly 5 miles east of St. Ignace. With his winnings, the man plans on fixing up his house, investing and retiring.

“Winning hasn’t fully sunk in yet, but it’s such a relief,” said the winner. “It’s going to allow me to take care of some things that have been on my list and live comfortably.”

The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is the Wolverine FLL lottery club which claimed a $1.05 billion jackpot in March 2021. With their winnings, the group plans to give back to the community.
