A Michigan man’s daily routine of buying coffee and a lottery ticket led to a $300,000 jackpot surprise.
Winner First Believed He Won $30K
The 56-year-old from Wayne County, who wishes to stay anonymous, initially thought he had won $30,000. After checking his “Make It Rein” ticket at a Speedway gas station in Livonia, he was astonished to learn he had actually won $300,000, one of the game’s top prizes.
The winner said he has followed the same morning ritual—buying coffee and a lottery ticket—for eight years. He plans to invest part of the winnings in his children’s college funds, buy a new car, and save the rest for the future.
"Make It Rein" Keeps Big Prizes Available
The “Make It Rein” instant game, launched in October, has distributed over $4 million in prizes across Michigan. Tickets cost $5, with top prizes of $300,000. Following this recent win, one top prize remains, along with seven $2,000 second-tier prizes. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.94.
