problem is that no where on the ticket or the website does it say annuity. That is why I never buy anything over $5.....I want what they say the top prize is...whats next...win $5 and they will pay you 50 cents for the next 10 years ..LOL

When is a million dollar instant ticket not a million dollars ??? In Michigan..The man chose a one-time, lump-sum payment of $634,517 over a 30-year annuity, lottery officials said. With the money they rake in off these instant games... a 30 year annuity...you got to be sh@tting me !! A bigger scam than I ever imagined

Congrats to him.

Maybe the girlfriend told him not to buy another one , because he has a gambling addiction. When you are hiding in the bathroom to do something so that nobody knows that's a red flag.

A 30 year annuity for just $1000000! That's just sad

Poor guy had to wait until the next morning and hide in the bathroom to scratch it

This should be a wake up call. I'm sure she'll be telling him what he should do with it

now too. Naggy wet blanket. I guess if photos are taken she'll be right next to him

smiling ear to ear. You know, sometimes a person has to go with their head and not

their heart. Even with this win, I see more choppy waters ahead. Unless, of course,

he throws her overboard.

Congratulation to this winner. I don't think I would have been in any hurry to tell this girl friend about the winner either.

Hooray for this guy. Although I live in California, I grew up in the great state of Michigan and will always be a Michigander at heart. I remember I was there when the lottery started. Lottery is good for everyone, it is voluntary taxation so to speak and benefits schools, roads and a states infrastructure. It also creates jobs.

The nagging girlfriend is lucky he is even going to share. I raise a glass to the bathroom scratcher and say a hearty CONGRATS

He will win some arguments in their future by saying Honey when I don't listen to you wonderful things happen

Maringoman,

I like that idea.

Also there's this.

On my way in, my girlfriend told me not to buy any lottery tickets, but I didn't listen

The key words here...Didn't listen. WTG

Perhaps the lucky man should have got a loser ticket and went to his girlfriend and told her he couldn't fight the temptation. Her reaction would seal her fate in the relationship.

I'll bet the girlfriend got her hand out now waiting on what she can get. Who do people think they are?? Let them buy however many tickets they want, I go to work and earn my money if I want to spend it on lottery tickets shut up and let me...

The moral of the story is to do what you believe is right and don't listen to negatively.

He scratched his ticket in the bathroom to keep his girlfriend from knowing what he'd done.

Her request that he restrain himself from another lottery ticket purchase went ignored.

But when the scratching was finished, the guilty act of secrecy turned to a brilliant stroke of luck.

The Livonia man, whose identity hasn't been revealed because he requested anonymity, scratched until he found a match for one of his winning numbers: 27.

Printed underneath the match: 1Mil.
