Ann Arbor, Michigan – A 50-year-old man from Wayne County has become an instant millionaire after winning a $4 million jackpot from a scratch-off lottery ticket. The unidentified winner purchased the ticket after confirming via MichiganLottery.com that all three top prizes of the $4,000,000 Winner game were still available. He bought his winning ticket at Superior Market, located at 5700 Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor.

The ticket, which cost $30, was part of an instant game that offers players various prizes ranging from $30 to $4 million. Remarkably, the man bought three of the remaining $30 tickets at the store, as they were the last available tickets in that game. Upon scratching the barcodes on his tickets, one of the tickets prompted him to file a claim, indicating that he had won a significant prize.

Feeling anxious about the outcome, the winner opted to wait until the following day to scan his ticket using the Michigan Lottery app. To his astonishment, when he discovered he had won the entire $4 million jackpot, he was overwhelmed with disbelief, reportedly screaming in shock at the amount displayed on the app.

Upon claiming his prize, the lottery winner elected to receive the money as a one-time lump sum payment of approximately $2.7 million, as opposed to choosing annuity payments. With his newfound wealth, he has outlined plans to pay off his home, take a vacation, and save the remainder for future endeavors.

The victory is part of larger trends in the Michigan Lottery. Since the $4,000,000 Winner game launched in December 2023, players have collectively won over $72 million from these tickets. The Michigan Lottery has also reported that significant prizes remain available, including two additional $4 million top prizes, 24 prizes valued at $15,000, and 132 prizes of $5,000.

The popularity of instant games continues to surge. In 2024, Michigan lottery players won nearly $1.8 billion from playing instant games, marking a substantial contribution to the state’s lottery revenue.

As the excitement surrounding this latest win grows, it underscores the ongoing appeal of lottery games in Michigan, where fortunes can change in moments through a simple scratch-off ticket. The man’s story will undoubtedly inspire many players hoping for a stroke of luck in upcoming lottery draws.
