LANSING — A 51-year-old Ingham County man won more than half a million dollars in a monthly state lottery drawing last month.
The man, who Michigan Lottery officials aren't naming because he chose to remain anonymous, was selected for the “Monthly Jackpot Progressive Prize” of $625,162 in a random drawing on April 12, according to a news release from the Michigan Lottery.
He earned entries into the giveaway by playing eligible games, lottery officials said, but didn't initially answer the call when lottery staff called to inform him of his winnings because he didn't recognize the phone number.
