This month, a Caseville man tragically drowned while holding onto a winning $45,000 Club Keno ticket from the Michigan Lottery, as he waited to cash it.

Gregory Jarvis’ body was discovered on Friday along a private beach on Saginaw Bay, as initially reported by Flint television station WJRT.

According to a local resident who spoke to the TV station, Jarvis, aged 57, had been patiently anticipating the arrival of his new social security card in the mail. He needed this card in order to cash a ticket.

According to the TV station, the ticket that belonged to Jarvis is now in the possession of his relatives. Jake Harris, the spokesperson for the Michigan Lottery, stated that the winning ticket, along with all other winning tickets, is considered a “bearer instrument.” This means that anyone who has the ticket can claim the prize money. Thus, amidst the sadness surrounding this incident, there is a small glimmer of good news.

A prize of over $200,000 from the Michigan Lottery remained unclaimed earlier this month.

Jarvis won ‘The Jack’ progressive jackpot this month

Jarvis achieved victory on September 13th when he won “The Jack,” a progressive jackpot extension to Club Keno, while at Caseville’s Blue Water Inn.

On the other hand, in order to claim prizes exceeding $600, the Michigan Lottery mandates that winners must furnish photo identification along with their authentic social security card.

According to the report, Jarvis was last spotted at the Blue Water Inn on September 19th while he was still patiently awaiting his new card.

Jarvis’ body was discovered in close proximity to his boat on the shore last week.

According to Caseville Police Chief Kyle Romzek, it is believed that Jarvis accidentally slipped and fell into the water while securing his boat, resulting in a head injury. The chief assured that there are no suspicions of any malicious intent involved.

However, the discovery of the winning ticket did lead to additional investigation. Romzek stated that investigators believe it is unrelated to the incident.
