Oakland County Man Wins $300K On Bingo Scratch Off, Plans MI Vacation

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — An Oakland County man said he couldn't contain his excitement after winning $300,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Bingo Blockbuster instant game.

The lucky 88-year-old winner, who chose to remain anonymous, bought four Bingo tickets at the BP gas station, located at 8320 Highland Road in White Lake. He won $50 on them, so he decided to buy a few more.

"I scratched the ticket and looked it over, but I wasn’t sure how much I’d won," he said. "When I called the Lottery office and they told me my ticket was a $300,000 winner, I started cheering! I couldn’t contain my excitement."

With his winnings, he said he plans to take a vacation to Northern Michigan and then save the remainder.

Players have won more than $6 million playing Bingo Blockbuster which launched in June. Each $5 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $5 up to $300,000. More than $19 million in prizes remain, including two $300,000 top prizes, two $12,000 prizes, and four $10,000 prizes.
