Can you please rephrase your request?

A man from Macomb County emerged as the most recent fortunate victor in the Michigan Lottery, thanks to Diamond 7’s. And when we say big, we truly mean it – the largest win since July and one of the most substantial of the entire year.

On September 1st, a fortunate player at the 18-Dequindre Convenience store in Sterling Heights struck gold by winning the grand prize of $4 million through the purchase of a ticket in the Diamond 7’s scratch-off game.

Michigan Lottery winner double-checks result to confirm; partying begins

The victorious individual opted to stay unidentified, even though the 33-year-old did engage in a conversation with the Michigan Lottery regarding his stroke of luck.

He explained that he enjoys playing a range of instant games, mentioning that he had chosen to play the Diamond 7’s game because it was a recent addition to the scratch game collection.

Diamond 7s, a game that requires a $30 entry fee, was recently introduced in August. The game offers various cash prizes, beginning at $30, and players have a 1 in 3.47 chance of winning back their entry fee or more. The prizes increase in value, reaching up to $15,000, before making a significant jump to the grand prize of $4 million. Only three tickets are eligible to win the $4 million prize, and the first ticket holder from Macomb County has just claimed their victory.

He explained that upon scanning the ticket, a message prompted him to file a claim. To ensure accuracy, he decided to take it home and have a family member scan it using their Lottery app.

In addition to ticket scanning for checking winning status, the Michigan Lottery mobile app provides online games with cash rewards and convenient in-app purchase of lottery tickets.

Upon first inspection of the ticket, the family member declared that the player had won $500. Nevertheless, their assessment turned out to be slightly inaccurate.

He exclaimed that their astonishment was overwhelming when they scanned the ticket on the app and discovered it was worth $4 million. The atmosphere instantly transformed into a lively celebration.

Diamond 7’s win follows other seven-figure scores in scratch-off games

When the man visited Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing to claim his prize, he chose to receive a lump sum payment of $2.5 million instead of the entire $4 million distributed in 30 yearly installments.

The Michigan Lottery has reported that players have already accumulated over $23 million in winnings from playing Diamond 7’s. There is still an impressive amount of over $128 million in remaining prizes, which includes the two remaining top prizes of $4 million each.

Following last week’s report of a Tuscola County woman winning $1 million in Ruby Mine, another scratch-off game by the Michigan Lottery, news has now surfaced of another individual winning $1 million in Red Hot Millions, yet another scratch-off game.

In January, the four-member Oakland County Lottery Club emerged as the ultimate victor in the Michigan Lottery, securing a staggering $1.05 billion prize through Mega Millions. This monumental win solidifies their position as the most successful participants of the year in the multi-jurisdictional game.
