Besides being residents of Michigan, a woman from Genesee County and a man from Wayne County share the incredible experience of becoming millionaires through their participation in Michigan Lottery’s instant-win games.
Both winners claimed their seven-figure prizes from different scratcher games this week, adding to the already lucrative year for players.
The stories of the newest Michigan Lottery millionaires
Earlier this week, the man from Wayne County, who chose to remain anonymous, shared his premonition regarding his victory.
The 32-year-old winner, who purchased a $20 Millionaire Maker II ticket at the Caboose Wine Shop on Holbrook St. in Hamtramck, expressed their love for playing the Lottery. They shared that despite their wife’s lack of belief in their winning potential, they had always been confident in their ability to win big. One night, they had a dream about winning a significant lottery prize, which initially didn’t strike them as noteworthy. However, the following day, they visited the store to purchase some tickets.
As soon as I hopped into my car, I couldn’t resist scratching them off. To my surprise, I quickly discovered that I had a matching number ’04’, which made me believe that I had won $100. But when I unveiled the symbol ‘1MIL’ indicating a million dollars, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It felt like I was still in a dream. Without wasting a second, I immediately dialed my wife’s number to share the incredible news with her!
His wife became a believer thanks to him, and he opted for the lump sum of $634,000, intending to use it to buy a new car and house.
At approximately the same time, the woman from Genesee County opted to receive a lump sum of equal worth from a $10 Cash Game ticket. It is worth mentioning that she did not possess any foresight regarding the victory.
Teamwork was what mattered most to her.
The 47-year-old woman shared, “During my time at the store, I requested the clerk to choose a few lottery tickets on my behalf. Taking advantage of my lunch break, I decided to scratch them before returning to work. As soon as I realized that I had won $1 million, I was convinced that I must have misread the ticket. It was beyond belief!”
The store she mentioned is located at the Miller Point Mart on Miller Road in Flint. Her intention is to go on a vacation and then utilize the remaining money for investment purposes. It should be noted that she is not the sole individual making such plans, but rather one of the most recent in Michigan.
2021 continues creeping up toward new highs
After these victories, the count of MI Lottery participants who have won prizes worth seven figures or higher has reached 46 for the year 2021. With over two months remaining in this year, only two more wins are needed to equal the total number of such wins achieved in 2020.
Despite the progress made so far, this year still needs to do more to break the previous record. In 2019, there were 57 winners in total. With the current progress, 2021 is slightly ahead of that record number, having reached 80.7% of the way to 57, while being 78.6% through the year.
However, for individuals like these individuals, records and targets hold little significance. They derive happiness from simply being a part of that crowd, irrespective of its size.
