Early numbers were good luck omen
After the million-dollar-prize winner commenced scratching his winning ticket, he was filled with hope as two numbers appeared. The individual, a 50-year-old who opted for anonymity, elaborated on the reason behind this to the Michigan Lottery.
The player shared, “I’ve had quite a bit of luck with the Red Hot Millions game, which is why I’ve decided to keep playing it.”
As I began scratching the ticket, my eyes caught sight of the numbers ’09’ and ’19’ in the Hot Numbers section. Instantly, a surge of excitement rushed through me as I thought to myself, “This is it! I’m destined to hit the jackpot with these numbers,” for they have always been my lucky charms.
Big-money news gets winner all worked up
When the winner laid eyes on the numbers, it was beyond belief.
“I totally freaked out,” he exclaimed, recalling the moment I uncovered the symbols ’19’ and ‘$1MIL’. “Since my wife was still at work, I immediately headed towards her office, but had to pull over to regain control of my emotions. I was overwhelmed with excitement.”
Upon his visit to the lottery headquarters in Lansing, the man from Genesee County made the decision that many winners often make – opting for a single lump-sum payment of $634,000, instead of receiving the full amount in incremental payments over a span of 30 years.
After emerging victorious, the player expressed a multitude of emotions and disclosed that he intends to utilize the prize money to acquire a new residence and a truck.
He expressed his multitude of emotions regarding the $1 million victory, with relief being the most prominent. “Finally, we can pursue the things we’ve longed to do.”
Odds of a meaty Red Hot Millions win are dwindling
The available big-money prizes for the instant game are diminishing as time goes on. Each ticket is priced at $10 and presents a chance to win anywhere from $10 to $1 million in prizes.
As per the Michigan Lottery, there is only one remaining prize worth $1 million, and players have a limited number of opportunities to win a $2,000 prize, which amounts to a couple of dozen chances. On the other hand, there are still over 200 prizes of $500 available to be won.
Michigan Lottery list of millionaires closing in on 2020 total
The Genesee County man’s victory on September 9th placed him as the state’s 41st millionaire of the year. His fortunate purchase occurred just one week after a Sterling Heights man won a staggering $4 million while playing Diamond 7s.
On June 8th, a fortuitous individual purchased the inaugural $1 million Red Hot Millions prize from a party store in Taylor.
The Lottery announced that in the year 2020, a total of 48 individuals from Michigan purchased winning tickets valued at $1 million or higher.
