Turns out, on that fateful Friday, the 61-year-old miOttawa County player made his usual stop for coffee at the gas station. However, he also bought five Cashword game tickets. So, “When I scratched the Cashwords off, I won $25. Put $10 in my pocket.” Then, with his newfound little bit of luck, he bought 2 more instant game tickets. But this time he picked one $5 Cashword and one $500,000 Wild Time game ticket.

“I didn’t win on the Cashword, but when I saw I won $500,000 on the Wild Time ticket, you could have knocked me over with a feather!”

The anonymous player visited MI Lottery headquarters in Lansing on Tuesday to submit in person the paperwork of claiming the big prize. He plans to invest his winnings. “I will live comfortably. This gives me a chance not to worry about money for a while,” the happy miOttawa man said.
