The beauty of playing the lottery in Michigan is that on any given day, you can win some serious cash. And the thing is, when somebody gets the chance to win nearly $10 million by playing, it is a tale that will long be talked about.

Those funds can go a long way towards self-improvement in life and will show that it can be any individual who comes out on top in the end.

With that said, we take a peak at a monster win from earlier in the week. Let’s go.

A Huge Payday

Playing the lotto means that a lot of people may come up short, but there will be someone who earns a wild earning. A resident of the state was playing and came away $8.75 million richer after the ticket was matched.

And this number is the ninth biggest in the state’s history, meaning that this is the type of win that is going to be talked about for the months and years that follow.

The ticket has not yet been claimed, but it’s something that people are going to be keeping an eye on. Paris Spirits and Wine in Kentwood was the place of the purchase and a store that is going to be looked at a lot as the one to go to in order to pull the winner.

The contestants can pick the specific place they want to go, and doing it somewhere where wins have already occurred makes it the most likely.

The biggest ever, for folks who are curious, was over $32.3 million and was split by two players. The more tickets that get purchased, the higher the earnings can be. And this $8.75 million can be increased by a significant amount in the future.

Somebody Better Come Forward

As nobody has come forward to claim a nearly $9 million ticket that has been confirmed, there is a chance that it won’t be taken at all, and the choice could be made to keep it in holding. If not done quickly enough, it will not belong to any individual.

It will likely happen, so the lottery office employees should be ready to be part of this history. Any type of win that comes inside the top 10 of the highest ever will be one that remains talked about. So, while the wait happens, be on the lookout for other big Michigan wins.
