If you could change $10 into $1 million by scratching a card, would you do it? Of course, everyone would agree to this, but the odds are unlikely that everyone would become a winner.
One lucky Michigan Lottery player, however, was able to do just that. The winner, who remains anonymous, recently scratched their Ruby Mine lottery ticket arguably for the last time.
They were able to win the $1 million jackpot in the city of Ann Arbor, Mich. The retailer was the House of Liquor.

How to Play
For a scratch-off instant win game, Ruby Mine is one of the easier games to play offered by the Michigan Lottery. As straightforward as it is, you simply scratch and see if you win, without really having to line up a ton of prize symbols or play different parts of the ticket to see if you win.
You begin, of course, by scratching and revealing symbols. If you happen to reveal three matching symbols within the same game, you will win the prize for that game. Below you will see the multiplier options:
- Reveal a “10X,” and you will win 10 times that prize.
- Reveal a “20X,” and you will win 20 times that prize.
- Reveal a “50X,” and you will win 50 times that prize.
Make sure to keep up with the number of Ruby symbols that have been revealed in games 1-20. After you count them, look at the prize legend to see what prize you have won:
- One Ruby is $20
- Two Rubies are $50
- Three Rubies are $100
