An Alpena county guy wins $500,000 recently in a lottery game
An Alpena County man says his daily routine paid off in a huge way and will relieve some financial pressure as he won a $500,000 jackpot recently.
"Each morning, I buy a newspaper, coffee, and one Lottery ticket,” said the winner, who chose to remain anonymous.
“When I scratched the ticket off, all I could think when I scratched the prize amount was: ‘Well, that’s weird.’ “I told my wife right away and we both just felt a sense of relief come over us.
This means so much to our family and will really take financial pressure off of us.” The player bought his winning 50X Wild Time instant ticket at the Shell gas station located at 1017 Chisolm Street in Alpena.
With his winnings, the man plans on paying bills and saving the remainder. For the latest on Michigan Lottery, check out the official Michigan Lottery site, which also offers more information on instant tickets, raffles and other lottery games.
