Wayne County Man Wins $1 Million Playing the Michigan Lottery’s Blazing Suits Instant Game
A Wayne County man purchased a Blazing Suits instant game ticket that someone else passed up and won the game’s $1 million top prize!
“There was a Blazing Suits ticket set aside on the counter that someone else had decided not to purchase, so I purchased it,” said the 33-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I scratched the ticket off and couldn’t believe it when I saw it was a $1 million winner! I never would have thought I’d win such a large lottery prize, so it’s truly a blessing.”
“Congratulations to this lucky player on his $1 million win!” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Instant games, like Blazing Suits, help drive sales which increases our contribution to Michigan schools. In Fiscal Year 2025, the Lottery contributed more than $1 billion to the School Aid Fund for the seventh consecutive year.”
The player bought his winning ticket at Fawaz Petroleum LLC, located at 19245 Schoolcraft in Detroit. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. He chose to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000, rather than annuity payments for the full amount. He plans to save his winnings.
“Winning is a great feeling, but it’s also a lot of pressure because your mind starts thinking of all the different things you can do with this amount money,” the player said.
Players have won more than $14 million playing Blazing Suits, which launched in June. Each $10 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $10 up to $1 million. More than $32 million in prizes remain, including two $1 million top prizes and 15 $2,000 prizes.
In 2024, Lottery players won nearly $1.8 billion playing instant games.
Lottery instant games may be purchased at retailers across the state.
