A 59-year-old Oakland County woman said she felt lucky before purchasing a winning Michigan Lottery Double Diamond instant scratch game ticket. The winning ticket was purchased at the Shell gas station at 24839 Greenfield Rd. in Southfield. The winner says she has been playing the Double Diamond game since it was launched and has been very lucky.

“I was sitting in my living room scratching my tickets that night, and I scratched this Double Diamond ticket last. When I revealed the $1 million prize, I jumped up and started hollering! I had my husband look the ticket over because I thought I was seeing things.”

She decided to take a lump sum of $693,000 when claiming her prize at the Michigan Lottery headquarters instead of 30 yearly payments for the full $1 million. The winner wishes to remain anonymous and says she plans to pay bills and save the remainder to go toward her recent retirement.

Double Diamond Instant Game Has Pain More Than $24 Million In Winnings

The Double Diamond game launched with the Michigan Lottery last August and has paid more than $24 million in winnings to lucky players. The $10 ticket allows players to win from $10 up to $1 million. Of the remaining $28 million in prizes, there is one $1 million top prize, eleven prizes of $10,000, and 80 prizes of $2,000 still to be won.

Another big winner was seen in Detroit, as a 53-year-old man took the top prize of $2 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Jackpot Millions instant game. He purchased the winning ticket at the Fast Track gas station at 30953 Mound Rd. in Warren.

“We started scratching our tickets when we got home, and when I saw I’d won the $2 million top prize, I was in shock! Winning this prize truly is life-changing.”

When he recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his prize, the anonymous winner decided to take a lump sum of about $1.3 million instead of 30 annual payments for the full $2 million. He plans to pay bills with his winnings.

The Jackpot Millions instant game has paid players in Michigan over $40 million in prizes, with each $20 ticket offering prizes from $10 to $2 million. There are still over $68 million in winnings, including two $2 million top prizes and twelve $15,000 prizes.
