A Genesee County man searches through the winning lottery ticket for a $500,000 prize.
The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his $500 Reloaded! Tickets at Money Convenience located at 3020 Richfield Road in Flint.
“I love playing new instant games, so I bought some of the $500 reloaded tickets that came out this month,” the player said. “I scratched the tickets when I got into my car and when I saw I had won $500,000, I got a knot in my stomach and I was really nervous. I called my friend to make sure. Saw the ticket I’m looking at it right.”
The 46-year-old visited the Michigan Lottery Headquarters to claim his prize. He plans to buy a new car, start a business and start a college fund for his kids with his winnings.
“I don’t know what to feel or what to think,” said the player. “It still doesn’t feel real!”
