A Gladwin County resident recently secured a $300,000 win through the Michigan Lottery's Wild Time Bingo instant game. The winner, a 58-year-old woman who wishes to remain anonymous, shared her excitement: “The Bingo games are my favorite and are the only games I play. I scratched the ticket while I was at home and couldn’t believe it when I saw I had won the top prize! I must have checked the ticket over at least a dozen times and then I took it over to my dad’s house to have him look it over and make sure I was reading it right!”

The winning ticket was purchased at Murphy USA on Joe Mann Boulevard in Midland. After confirming her win, the player visited the Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to use her winnings for home improvements and savings.

Since its launch in June 2024, players have secured over $17 million from Wild Time Bingo. The $5 tickets offer opportunities to win amounts ranging from $5 to $300,000. There are still over $6 million in prizes available, including another $300,000 top prize.

In 2024, instant game players in Michigan won nearly $1.8 billion. These games can be purchased at various retailers statewide.
