"I scratched the ticket off in the parking lot and a wave of excitement hit me as soon as I revealed the '1MIL' symbol!"
The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the big prize. He chose to receive the prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $634,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount.
The Michigan Lottery says players have won more than $37 million playing Millionaire Maker, which launched in April. Each $20 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $40 up to $1 million. More than $61 million in prizes remain, including seven $1 million top prizes and 41 $5,000 prizes.
Lottery instant games may be purchased at 10,500 retailers across the state.
