I don't think about it much unless the Powerball or Mega Millions is worth nearly a billion dollars. When that happens, my mind starts to go crazy thinking of all the things I would be able to do with that money.

I think the number one thing I would do is buy a really nice house on a bunch of land with a giant lake or pond so I could live out the rest of my days fishing, swimming and relaxing.

Recently, a 66-year-old man from Wayne County won big playing the Michigan Lottery’s Michigan jackpot online instant game.

He shared with lottery officials how he won and that he's planning on finding a new house, helping others, and saving the rest for retirement.

“I used to play Michigan Jackpot all the time and just recently got back into playing it. I logged on to my account and had just started playing when all my numbers lit up and $414,480 came up on the screen. It was unbelievable!”

This lucky winner isn't the only person to win big playing the Michigan Lottery.

A man visiting Michigan from Maryland recently won $1,000,000 playing a Lucky Numbers instant win ticket.

A Bay County woman who had been playing Lotto 47 for 20 years with the same numbers hit it big and won $1.1 million.

And an Oakland County woman playing Fantasy 5 online accidentally selected a wrong number that resulted in her winning $250,000.
