Michigan Lottery selling scratch games after top prize goneReply

Hey, I've been visiting the site for awhile, finally joined so I can respond on this. The article in the St. Louis Post- Dispatch has a photo showing the store director congratulating the guy with two of his friends in the background and the caption saying he picked up more than $16,000 cash at the store.
