Wayne County Man Wins $1M On Scratch-Off Ticket Bought In Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, MI — A Wayne County man's daily ritual of buying a scratch-ff ticket at a Plymouth store finally paid-off as he won a $1 million prize, according to Michigan Lottery officials.

The lucky 50-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his winning Wild Cherry ticket at the Way Station, located at 950 South Main Street in Plymouth, according to lottery officials.

"I like playing all of the different Lottery games, and I have a daily ritual of stopping at the Way Station to purchase a scratch-off ticket," said the player. "I scratched the Wild Cherry ticket when I got home and when I saw it was a $1 million winning ticket, I had to scan it on the app to make sure I was reading it right. Once the app confirmed my prize, I woke up my wife to tell her the good news!"

He chose to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount, according to lottery officials.

With his winnings, he plans to complete some home improvements, take a vacation and live comfortably, according to lottery officials.

"The future is looking a lot brighter thanks to this prize," said the player. "I feel extremely lucky to have won!"
