A Michigan woman won $300,000 playing one of her favorite scratch-off lottery games.
The 58-year-old Gladwin County woman, who decided to stay anonymous, won her prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s Wild Time Bingo game.
“The Bingo games are my favorite and are the only games I play,” the player told lottery officials. “I scratched the ticket while I was at home and couldn’t believe it when I saw I had won the top prize! I must have checked the ticket over at least a dozen times and then I took it over to my dad’s house to have him look it over and make sure I was reading it right!”
The player purchased the winning ticket at Murphy USA at 900 Joe Mann Boulevard in Midland.
She plans to complete home improvements and then save the rest of her winnings.
The Wild Time Bingo game was launched in June 2024, and since then, people have won more than $17 million playing the game.
Each $5 ticket gives players the chance to win prizes from $5 up to $300,000.
