Two lucky winners from Michigan have hit the jackpot in the lottery

This week in Michigan was marked by two significant lottery wins. One state resident became an instant millionaire, winning $500,000 in a scratch-off lottery game, while another hit the jackpot with a $150,000 prize from the multi-stage Powerball draw.
Local lottery officials reported that the first winner is a 69-year-old man from Macomb County, who claimed his $500,000 prize from the game Spectacular Wild Time. Previously, he had only purchased $2 tickets but recently decided to try his luck with $5 tickets. That decision proved to be life-changing.
"When I scratched off the protective layer, I noticed a match with the number 6, but I first revealed the entire field. I was expecting to see $5 or $10, but when I uncovered the total amount, I saw one zero, then a second, and then a third. That’s when it hit me that I had won big!" the winner shared.
The lucky ticket was sold at Little Mack Beer & Wine in St. Clair Shores. In the current draw, there are still two unclaimed top prizes of $500,000, nine prizes of $25,000, and ten prizes of $2,500.
Another major win came for Michael Werner from Berrien County, who scored $150,000 in Powerball. This was only his second attempt at the lottery. His combination of four white balls and the correct Powerball tripled his standard payout of $50,000 thanks to the Power Play option.
Just days earlier, other significant wins were reported, including one participant who won $150,000 in Powerball and another who took home $482,000 in Fantasy 5.
In a related note, a Massachusetts resident accidentally won two major prizes by confusing the lottery dates.
