$500,000 Jackpot for Benzie County Resident - Play Michigan Lottery
Triple Bonus Cashword Michigan Lottery

A Benzie County man found himself shaking uncontrollably, but there was nothing wrong with him. Instead, Jeremy Ward of Thompsonville had just finished matching his tenth word in the Triple Bonus Cashword instant win game for the $500,000 jackpot. 

The 37-year-old will be buying a new house and saving the rest for his son. Ward won the jackpot, which the game had previously had a total of four tickets remaining of that amount, so now there are three more instant win tickets out there with the jackpot.

How to Play

This game can only be purchased in-store. You can find it at your local lottery retailer or by searching on the Michigan Lottery website for the nearest location. 

To start, you scratch off the call letters to reveal a total of 20 letters. You must match each call letter to the corresponding letters in all three of the Crossword Puzzles. To do this, you simply remove the scratch-off material that is covering the matching letter.

If you reveal three or more completed words in each of the Crossword Puzzles 1, 2, and 3, you will win the corresponding prize located in the Prize Legend for that specific puzzle. Keep in mind that the entire word has to be revealed to win the corresponding prize. Also, only the highest corresponding prize can be won.

There is also a bonus opportunity. For Bonus Words 1, 2, and 3, if you match all six letters in a Bonus Word, you will win the prize shown in that specific word’s Prize Box.

Odds, Price, and Payouts

The overall odds of winning a single prize for this game are one in 3.43. To increase your chances of winning, you can purchase an additional ticket. Keep in mind of your bankroll situation before purchasing large amounts of this game.
