According to the Michigan Lottery, the win occurred on Saturday, when a diner at the Millington Inn happened to purchase a 5 Win Lucky Clover game ticket. That ticket turned out to be the winner, fetching the unknown winner or winners the potentially life-altering $865,000 in prize money.
A Quick Bite and the Jackpot of a Lifetime
At the time of the reporting, there has been no official confirmation of the winner’s identity, nor has anyone come forward to claim the reward. The Michigan Lottery suggested. 5 Win Lucky Clover is a very popular lottery game in Michigan, and it allows players to enter in tiers.
Anyone seeking to try their luck at the top prize would have to pay $20 ticket so that the prize is generated from multiple feeder games. The odds of winning are not too high compared to other games, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, but they still stand at the rather long-shot 1 in 600,000.
The game asks players to pick 24 numbers and arrange them on four-leaf clovers. To hit the progressive jackpot, a player would need to match all of the 24 numbers. Of course, the game allows players to win smaller prizes as well, keeping them involved and coming back for more.
Lottery Winners Can Be Careless with Their Tickets
Lotteries all over the United States have been urging players to always take good care of their tickets and ensure that they check them. Buying lottery tickets is often a habit that could make people careless with their potentially winning tickets.
Many such stories persist in the news cycle, with the money often locked up for months before they are either raked back into the existing jackpot or spent elsewhere as per regulation.
