Wayne County man wins $500K on Michigan Lottery scratch-off ticket bought in Detroit
DETROIT (FOX 2) - A Wayne County man won $500,000 when he bought a cheaper Michigan Lottery scratch-off ticket than he usually does.
"I usually only play $20 instant tickets, but I decided to purchase a few $5 tickets on a whim," he said. "I started scratching the tickets when I got home and saw I’d matched a number. When I revealed the winning amount of $500,000, I was in disbelief! I’ve been playing for years hoping to win big and I can’t believe it finally happened."
The 63-year-old winner bought the $25 Million Cash Payout ticket from JCJ Food at 1549 East Nevada Street in Detroit.
He plans to use his winnings to pay off his home and travel to Florida.
