Detroit Man Inspired by TikTok Wins Big Playing Michigan Lottery

A Detroit man is celebrating a major Michigan Lottery win - after getting inspired by TikTok.

Grosjieon Moore, 63, recently scored $500,000 on a Bonus Scratch Multiplier instant lottery ticket. Can you even imagine? Wait - I am sure you can.

It turns out Mr. Moore was inspired to play after watching instant lottery winners on TikTok.

I saw some TikTok videos of people scratching lottery tickets and winning big, and I thought to myself how that would never happen to me. A few days later, my wife and I were scratching Lottery tickets when she yelled: We got a winner! She thought we’d won $50,000, but when I looked it over, I saw we’d actually won $500,000. It was amazing!

According to Michigan Lottery Connect, Mr. Moore purchased his ticket at New Quick Stop Market, located at 8059 West Grand River Avenue in Detroit.

This big Michigan Lottery winner plans to save the money.

Like Grosjieon Moore, I occasionally feel inspired to buy a lottery ticket every now and again. However, unlike Mr. Moore, I haven’t experienced that life-changing win - at least not yet.

What is the most money you have won on a Michigan Lottery ticket? For me, it was $200. Just last week, I won $25. Did I save my recent winnings? No.

We all know how it goes - you can’t win if you don’t play. It’s that familiar mindset that keeps people buying tickets, holding onto the hope that maybe, just maybe, their turn to win could be next.

Good luck.
