A Michigan man was still in shock, even after claiming his big win. The Wayne County man recently won $100,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Football Payout instant game online.

The 53-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, said he plays the “Football Payout online game here and there.” He was recently playing the game and hit for $100,000, the Michigan Lottery announced.

The player told the Michigan Lottery, “Three $100,000 amounts came up on the screen while I was playing, but it didn’t register right away that I’d won that amount. Once it hit me that I’d won $100,000, I just sat there and stared at the screen, stunned for a few minutes. I was in utter disbelief!”

A life-changing win

After hitting the $100,000 win online, the lucky player recently visited lottery headquarters to claim his big prize. With the winnings, he said he plans on taking his daughter on a trip.

The player said:

“I don’t think winning will fully hit me until I have the money in my bank account, but I do know it’s going to be life-changing.”
