Clinton County Man Wins $125,514 Monthly Jackpot Progressive Prize
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
A Clinton County man said winning a $125,514 Monthly Jackpot Progressive prize from the Michigan Lottery couldn’t have happened at a better time.
The lucky 49-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, won $125,514 after he was selected in a random drawing that took place Jan. 11. He earned entries into the giveaway by playing the Monthly Jackpot game online at MichiganLottery.com.
“I had been playing the Monthly Jackpot game quite a bit, and I knew there was a second chance associated with playing, but I wasn’t sure what the second chance prize was,” said the player. “I got an email and a call from the Lottery one day informing me I’d won the second chance jackpot, and I didn’t think it was real. It still feels surreal and hasn’t sunk in yet.
“I haven’t told my family that I won yet, so I plan to surprise them by showing them the check. This couldn’t have happened at a better time for our family!”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and take a vacation.
