The Michigan Lottery just continues to have some massive payouts each week, and the most recent wins have come from instant lottery games. A couple of residents have cashed in with a win that totaled $500,000, and that is life changing money for those winners. 

These wins came from two different games, and there are other games that have allowed players to cash in throughout the year. Here is a look at two of the recent winners that come forward to claim their prizes. 

Holiday Wishes Come True

A 73-year-old man from Ottawa County was able to cash in with a $500,000 prize on the Holiday Wishes instant lottery game. This player has chosen to remain anonymous, and that is allowed due to the rules of the Michigan Lottery. 

According to the man, he decided to start playing instant lottery games after watching the television show, My Lottery Dream Home. What made this win even more lucky was the fact that it was just the third instant lottery ticket that he bought. 

The Holiday Wishes came has been a major success for lottery players in the state as more than $18 million has been handed out as part of this game since October. After stopping by the lottery headquarters to claim this prize, the man has a trip to Paris planned with his winnings. 

Ghostbusters Game Pays Big Money

An Allegan County woman is $500,000 richer after winning big with the Ghostbusters instant lottery game. This was another winner that chose to remain anonymous, but the 64 year old woman bought the winning ticket at the Marathon gas station in Plainwell. 

The woman has been playing this game since it came out, and she was finally able to strike it rich with a massive win. It was a gas station attendant that had to inform the woman of the massive win as she didn’t believe that she was seeing. 

There aren’t any big plans in place for the most recent winner of the Ghostbusters game, but paying off a number of bills will be the top priority. This game first launched in September 2023, and there has been more than $12 million won on the game. 

Each Ghostbusters ticket comes with a price tag of $5, and the grand prize available in the game is $500,000. There is still another $500,000 price remaining, but players are also still able to win more than $17 million by playing this game.
