Michigan resident secures $500,000 lottery prize due to sold-out tickets
A lucky Tuscola County resident has become the first winner of the top prize of $500,000 in the Michigan Lottery's Detroit Tigers instant game. The man, who chose to remain anonymous, initially planned to purchase a Triple Red 777s ticket but found it sold out at his local retailer.
In an interview, the 57-year-old winner recalled his experience, stating, "I went to buy the Triple Red 777s ticket, but it was sold out. So, I decided to try the Detroit Tigers scratch-off game instead." His decision proved to be a fortunate one, as he ended up winning the game's top prize.
The man bought the winning ticket last week at the Speedway gas station on 1001 West Caro Road in Caro, Michigan. Upon discovering his win, he double-checked his ticket with a store clerk and later with the Lottery's announcement. He then made a trip to the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his winnings.
Each $5 Detroit Tigers ticket offers a chance to win a prize between $5 and $500,000. There are six tier-two prizes of $2,000 up for grabs, and as of now, two more top prizes of $500,000 each remain in play from the Detroit Tigers scratch-off game.
The overall odds of winning any prize from the Detroit Tigers game are 1 in 3.65. The man, now a winner of $500,000, plans to invest his winnings and help his family. Winning $500,000 is an answered prayer for the winner, who considers it a life-changing event.
