He purchased the instant scratch game ticket from United II Liquor, located in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn is Michigan’s 8th largest city and is part of the Detroit metro area. You can purchase lottery tickets at 10,500 retailers across the state. In addition, you can also play the Michigan Lottery online if you are over 18 years of age and a resident of the state.
“I saw there were two top prizes remaining on the Worth Millions game, so I thought I had good odds,” said the 26-year-old player. “I gave the ticket to my friend to check when he went to the store. When I got a call from him telling me I won $4 million, I freaked out! I had to pinch myself because I couldn’t believe it was real.”
