Michigan Lottery Player Wins First Second‑Tier Millionaire For Life Prize

A Michigan lottery player became the first winner of the second‑tier prize in the state’s Millionaire For Life game. The ticket, sold at Mancelona North EZ Mart (8150 US Highway 131 NE, Mancelona), matched the five white balls drawn on May 21 (numbers 3‑15‑16‑24‑28). The prize offers $100,000 per year for life, with a one‑time lump‑sum option of $2.2 million; the winner has one year to claim the prize at the lottery headquarters in Lansing.

The win marks the inaugural award of this prize level since the game’s launch in Michigan. The article also noted a separate Michigan resident who later won a $1 million top prize after three ticket purchases in Ann Arbor, opting for the lump‑sum payout of $693,000 before taxes.
